By Madmallard
This setup is a ridiculously good value of sturdy cabinet construction, and good mid-level drivers.The default package is missing a few things, so make sure you understand you'll need another $100 or so in accessories:no stands or tripodsno speaker cables (connected with speakon jacks)no signal cables (to connect to a mixer) (fullsize XLR)In addition to picking those up, it would be a good idea to keep some other things in mind: pick up an extension cord rated for 14amps. Position the subwoofer near(less than half a foot) a wall, or angled in a corner. The speaker height on a stand should have the bottom of the cabinet roughly even with the bottom of the nose of the average listener's height.

By vegenaut
I did lots of research before buying this system 4 years ago. It was pretty widely agreed on in forums that this was the cheapest all in one portable PA system you could buy that still had professional sound quality. And I totally agree, this thing sounds AMAZING for the price, and it gets LOUD. Don't let the size fool you. This thing will pump out some serious volume. These things have taken a beating too. They've been on 8 or 9 outdoor camping trips/festivals and been left outside in rain, stepped on, slept on (haha), and all kinds of abused, and they still work and sound perfectly (they even survived being used on top of a van for about 4 hours while the van drove around rocky roads). I couldn't recommend these things more. This is the only PA system I've ever bought, and if these speakers died today, I'd probably go buy them again tomorrow.

By Gerald W. Tritle
Bought my first Matrix 2000 in 2005 and it is tops in the competitive environment. I'm #1 booked as a DJ in part because of my sound gear. The woofer, although heavy, pumps, and is loved among my college party clients and wedding reception party people. I would have to double the price to upgrade noticeably in sound quality. After caring for it (in operations and in transport), the subwoofer went out (after nearly 6 years). I liked the fact that the satellite speakers (although not as great by themselves) kept my mission moving at a high school gig. I went with purchase of a new Matrix 2000. I'm sold, and it will be a good investment for your business.
