ok for the price.
If you can deliver a good and strong line signal, this MA 205 will deliver "the goods" and do it well.
The mic preamp is dissapointing, bass'y and quiet.
I couldn't use this at a gig, but maybe as a monitor.
It is ok for leveling up my mixing desk at home & better than most, this size and price for overall performance.
I use it mostly for ballancing up my sound before leaving home for a gig, its natural sound is good and loud enough to get a real sound from.
Its a pity the mains wire is permanently attached, and theres no carrying handle. I could have made much more use of it if it had these features.
Usually good and reliable "forever", thomann music gear is worth every penny.
MONTHS LATER.
I have since purchassed another of these and carefully manufactured a 35mm speaker stand bracket to support 2 of these, to use with a quality "solo" analogue mixing desk. I can now use the stereo effects through the 2 MA205's, sounding quite impressive with a "doubling" sound effect. Outside bars, the stereo actually carries well, but indoors, the usual "people chatter" suppresses the stereo sound and it is wasted.
Music is far more sellect these days, people want quality, not loudness. My small MA205 system seems to have scored well.

Not great for use with a band
These are well made chunky little cabinets but I found that fitting them so a stand was a bit awkward and then transporting them difficult because of the bits of stand sticking out. I ended up sawing of bit of the bracket in order to get a good fitting
They would probably be good for gentle jazz etc but in my case they just could not get over the sound of the band.

Box MA295
Found the sound quality very good and worked well as a wall mounted monitor - not so god as a free-standing or pole mounted unit due to complicated fixing system and instability. No carrying handle. Sold them to a studio in the end and went for TC Helicon (discontuinued) close field stage monitors.

Small is all
Ok, I like these, but disappointed with the power. They may well be 100w RMS, but they dont sound like they can deliver 100w RMS, and that clip light discourages the careful user from pushing further.
Mounted on a micstand, kept close to the performer, they will work well as a stage monitor for small to medium sized gigs, but on the floor, they are too far from this performers ear to be of use.
If small is what we want, these are good to have. For intimate, semi acoustic gigs, they perform well as the main P.A. and/or monitors.
