Had it for many years and used it for many gigs and rehearsals. Quite sturdy and reliable and thanks to the aluminium speakers quite lightweight - at least in pre-ClassD-era. The 120W are enough for most stages and depending on your taste you can rack it up in an upright position or as a wedge monitor.
Soundwise it is quite versatile due to the parametric mids "shape" switch. The aluminium speaker gives it a defined and clear sound, the highs shine through although it is 15" size. Personally, I don't like setups with just 15" speakers, but this one is quite ok due to the Hartke brightness
So overall, quite good and reliable. I'd definitely recommend it, if you are looking for an expensive amp that is enough for stage and provides DI output.
