Sound (or applicable): 5/5.
This thing sounds amazing. Crisp and clean, good punch, all around perfect bass sound, and it really lets the growls through with my Boss ODB-3 pedal.

Equipment Quality: 5/5.
Rock Solid. Heavy duty recessed luggage wheels, a retractable handle, solid metal mesh screen, I don't think they could have made it any tougher.

Usefulness: 5/5.
Amazing. I've never turned it past about 4, and when I got that high, the whole drat house shook. I haven't taken it out yet, but I expect I won't need a PA for anything short of coliseum-type venues. The wheels and handles make it super easy to move around (considering it's a 70lb monster)

Overall Value: 5/5.
Hell yes. I love this thing to death. It is probably the best purchase I have ever made. I'd have been happy paying the retail $12-1300 price tag for this thing, but of course it was way cheaper direct from Carvin.

The only downside is the thing weighs 70lbs, but with those wheels and the handle, you only have to pick it up to get it in and out of the car. It'll even clear stairs and curbs with a good tug. I guess you wouldn't want this if you're gigging near daily or you can't/won't leave it in the practice space, but if it's gonna be relatively stationary, I'd recommend it to anyone.
