These are the sweetest 2-ways out there!

By Fried from St Paul MN on 10/10/2007

Pros:

Powerful, Easy To Use, Versatile, Professional Functions, Clear Sound

Best Uses:

Performances, Events

Describe Yourself:

Professional Musician

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have been hauling around 100+ pound speakers. I thought bigger (heavier) the better. These are around 50 pounds and are so clear and powerful. If you care about the sound, buy these. The price is higher than many other brands for the same size speaker but the quality is equal to the price difference.

Incredible speakers

By Anonymous from Undisclosed on 7/31/2006

"Being the second set of EV speakers that I have purchased, I will probably never go to any other brand. These speakers exemplify how EV continues to stay at the forefront of speaker technology. Not only do these produce a true ""clear"" sound on the high end, but the low end response for a plastic enclosure is incredible! Originally had a set of the Eliminator 15's, but the ZX5's outperform those in just about every category....and they weigh about 20 lbs less!! For the money, I don't believe that I could see myself purchasing any other speaker after hearing these. Playing/singing at various bars/clubs around town, there is no question that the overall sound quality has definitely gotten better....not only more clarity on the high end, but a distinctive low end ""punch"" which takes many by surprise due to the size and makeup of these speakers. Definitely not for everybody due to the price, but for the serious musician/performer looking to polish his/her overall sound, you can't go wrong with the ZX5's. Can't wait to see what EV does next!!"
