Replaced JBL Control 28 woofer perfectly
ReviewerMarc D / FromEngland / Date07 Nov 2016
I have 3 JBL Control 28 with dead woofers, so I was looking for a cheap fix. They are used thomann as stage monitors, and I didn't want to spend too much on the fix. So, I wanted to test this Fane Sovereign 8-225 after reading the good reviews on the product page. I tested it during a live 1h gig, next to another JBL Control 28 (with thomann stock woofer), and heard no tone differences (maybe in a quieter environment, I may hear subtle differences, but as stage monitors, it was doing it's job perfectly) Pros : - plug'n'play replacement, except for screws (position doesn't match the JBL ones, but nothing a screwdriver couldn't fix thomann in 30 seconds) - Sound is pretty good, I could hear my drummer's snare loud and clear ! Maybe a bit too much bass, but it wasn't behind an EQ yet. Cons: - none so far (except for the screw positions, if you want to nitpick) thomann I have two other Control 28 with blown woofer, and I will use this Fane Sovereign to fix them.
Great price and quality
ReviewerNatalia B / FromEngland / Date26 Apr 2016
These speakers are monsters! Great sound from them and very loud. They were a bit bigger than I had imagined thomann them but when i turned them on i realized why. The bass is clear and very direct. At this price point if you want versatility you will not find better I am sure.

This speaker was bought as a replacement for a speaker that was literally cooked by a DJ/Karaoke Presenter who drove thomann it to death. The DJ/Karaoke presenter is still trying to cook this one after a good few tries. Maybe not a JBL sound but it sure is tough. Good all rounder and it has lasted longer than the original. For the price and its use a really good thomann match. No complaints.
