Anyone use the Mackie SRM150 instead of a wedge? Thoughts?

Decent speaker but look elsewhere for the same kind of thing.
The SRM150 unfortunately has a legendary poor reliability reputation. A local dealer told me that every one of their SRM150's sold - failed…within a year. 100% failure rate. From the amp blowing, speaker blowing, inputs not working etc etc. A band mate of mine has one too - and the amp is so distorted, it's unusable.
Do a search online for "Mackie SRM150 review" - and read all the negative reviews - they all relate to early break down.

while i would hesitate to recommend Behringer anything, the Behringer is only $125 or so, and i've dropped mine twice and it still works great. it's worth trying
What model no are you referring to?
Any thoughts on comparable monitors?
Yes, believe it or not (their long history of troubles with breaking gear withstanding) - I would recommend the Behringer B205D, as others have pointed out.
The 'new' Behringer (since they bought Midas/Turbosound/Klark) is getting a lot better. In this case their ripoff product is better than the original.

But if you'e looking for a REAL monitor, I would steer my money elsewhere and start looking at powered speakers from EV, QSC, JBL, Yamaha, etc.
These micro monitors are fine if they are for just you, or an acoustic duo maybe…beyond that, fuggettabouddit. Especially if there is a drummer playing while this thing is being used…it would be acoustically invisible.

I am the drummer and I'm thinking of using it instead of a wedge....
