I've got one TS112a and one TS110a here testing them against each other and against my old JBL EON 15.
I was wanting something to use as a vocal monitor, and double as a main in a pinch. Tired of lugging that 15" speaker sometimes. I play cajun and zydeco music.
When I was A/B'ing them in the store (Guitar Center), the increased bass response from the 12" speaker appealed to me at first, but there were things about the 10" that also appealed to me. So, I brought them both home.
In the store, we set the volume of each at the 3 o'clock position. The 12" speaker was distorting, and I felt that probably anything above 12 o'clock might not be usable, but I didn't test it. When I got home, had the same issue, discernable distortion at 75% setting, and lower, for that matter, as compared to the 10" speaker. Also, the sound was muddier. Though there was more bass, it was woofier, like there was some compression on the signal, not a smooth bass response. And the highs were hidden, adding to the muddiness. In the store we cranked up the treble on the mixer for the 12", but it just seemed to be piercing or irritating, not pleasing. And this seemed to be the case for the speaker on display at the store and also the one I brought home, so, less possibility that I just got a "dog".
The TS110a is a different matter. It's more pleasing to the ear. Though it has less bass, it seems to be more usable bass. Not "woofy". It seems the sound is integrated better across the spectrum. Maybe for another kind of music, that woofiness would do the job for someone. I need a full spectrum.
For the price ($249) They're probably a 5 star, but I think the sound quality is more of a 4 or 4.5. If I were looking for something to use as a main full time, I might try something else, not sure. As a relatively inexpensive but powerful monitor, they seem to be more useful to me than, say, a Mackie SRM150 personal monitor, due to the power, and the flexibility to use as a main.
I hope it's durable. Not much longitudinal feedback on them yet.
---------------------------------------------
Addendum:
Took this to a friends house today, tested against 2 JBL EON 10's. The JBL's were used, not sure that what affected, but there was less bass and more noise with the JBL's than with this ts110a. I'm liking my choice more and more.

I have 3 different powered speakers of the same external dimensions from 3 different companies of 2 different time eras: 1. An Anchor "Liberty" 2 way with tweeter and 8" woofer and 75 watts of power from 1993. Given the strides made in the past 9 years, it's perhaps not surprising that it is the least loudest without running into distortion. and has the least fullness (less bass). On the plus side, it has the most inputs (3), bass and treble, the ability to sound louder for pure speaking engagements by pushing a button labeled "projection and is well made. Anchor still sells Liberty speakers, but they are expensive (typically $1000-1,300) and can be run by their own built in battery as well as AC. For additional $, you can also have a built in wireless mic receiver or built in CD player. 2. A QSC K10 with a 10 inch woofer and 1,000 watt amp. It has 2 inputs and 1 output. On the plus side, it is the most musical (good throughout the frequency band (although not an "audiophile level" speaker). It also has a couple of nice features like bass augmentation (e.g. for Hip Hop music) and appears to be very well made. It costs $700-750. 3. An Alto TS110a. On the plus side it is the least expensive by far (I paid $214) and the lightest by far. It doesn't sound quite as good as the QSC, expecially in the bass. It has 2 inputs and volume control. It also has a "contour" button that slightly change the frequency response much like the Liberty's "projection vs music" button. All speaker have a built in mixer, have both tweeters and woofers, and output so that you can connect more than 1 speaker in a "daisy chain." They are also close to the same size.
I do school assemblies in gymnasiums and occasional theaters. If I was to do it all over again, I would buy 2 Alto TS110a because the sound is good enough to motivate me and my audience, and 2 Altos are cheaper than 1 QSC K10. (Durability is the main unknown for the Altos, however.) I need one channel for my music source and 1 input for my microphone, so it perfectly fits the bill for my particular needs. (Interestingly, my son's former girlfriend, who is an incredible singer, preferred the Liberty speaker for her vocals).
Hope the information helps.

I recently purchased 2 Alto TS 110A Truesonic 600 watt dual input mixer speakers. I have not used them outside of my house yet. My first time to use them will be for a crowd of 200 to 300 or so people. The room is large. I will be using a piano keyboard (88 key), an electric drummer and a microphone. Does anyone know if the speakers can adequately cover an area of this size?
Thanks,
Norma
