I got the bags today. They're VERY expensive, but they are made nice. I hate the design .... you place the speaker grille FACE DOWN on the floor side of the case and the heatsink fins are up top. When you stack on them in a car or truck, the other gear will rest on the fins (through a padded cover, of course)
The zipper is placed so that's it's VERY awkward to insert the speaker into the bag, and it's a tight, glove fit. The outside pockets are secured by a single velcrow fastener, and kind of buldge out when filled. The Mackie is a much better design, but they are bigger. (but also CHEAPER)
I traded the Mackies in, so there's no going back now, but the shape is certainly more cumbersome to deal with.
The opening needs to be wider ... it takes entirly TOO much time to pack them away.
I found that the best way to insert the speaker is on it's side first ... handle UP, then rock it sideways to lay it down flat in the case.
They're made well, but get your checkbook ready folks .... I paid over $125, and I get pretty good deals on this stuff.
