HK Audio L5 115 F Linear 5

For compact cabins these handle tremendous amounts of power and that's the sole reason I bought a pair of these for a test. Unless the amp is an extreme overkill, there's really no need to worry if there's too much power for these speakers to handle.

The build quality is excellent and these are relatively easy to operate also when setting up PAs alone. It's not fun, but more doable than with older and bigger (not necessarily heavier) cabinets. Especially the handles feel great and are placed at proper locations. A mesh-like dust filter is behind a thick front grille and both are adequate for protecting the (speaker) elements, from the elements.

However, the size comes with it's price. Even though these have 15" elements, they don't quite sound that good without a subwoofer. A bit too flat on the low end, regardless the countour setting or placement. It's more a indoors than a outdoors problem as you can't always turn up the volume all the way and it's not really solvable by EQ tuning only.

Okeyish value for their price, at least not waste anyway. I'd buy another pair, but it's more because I already have one than the full-range (w/o subwoofer) sound quality alone.
