When I bought my 1 series speakers, the reviews were about 90% positive. There were a few where the reviewer talked about blown speakers, but we all know DJ's who don't know how to properly operate their gear, and drive it beyond its limits. I don't do outdoor events, so overheating has not been an issue. I think DJ's need to have a realistic idea of how large of a venue and audience their PA system can handle. Instead of cranking it up... add speakers. For larger venues, I can add my 12's. I take them with me as backups to every event anyway, and taking them inside is no big deal. I've seen the reviews of the 2 series speakers, and they are pretty similar to the reviews of the 1 series. I like the look and power of the 2's, but I like the fans in my 1's.
I also read reviews saying the cabinets are too easily marred. I have not had that issue either. I do keep my speakers in good quality speaker bags, and I handle them with care. They still look brand new after 20 events. My sub boxes are not the same plastic as the tops, and they can be chipped up pretty easily if not cared for. I had custom made Tuki covers made for my subs.
