I bought my system from Guitar Center and Musician’s Friend. After doing some extensive research before buying our company’s FOH, I decided that the ACT’s specs will comply for what I was looking for: price and performance. We recently used 2 stacks composed of ACT 1515x (x2) and ACT 18X (x2) per side as FOH at “Festival Calle Orange” (Orange Ave. Latino Fest) in Orlando, FL.
At first, few stage crew members and sponsors were and made skeptical comments. They thought that such small amount of speakers will not make it.  When I did sound check, they immediately change their mind. The stage manager told me: "It’s a deceiving system, I’m way impressed with the sound”.  

The ACT’s were cranked up non-stop from 9am until 8pm. The amps were all cool from start to end. The highs were not rigged, since mine are not the F type. Instead, they were installed on a 7’ side raiser per side, on a 30’wide stage, having an impressive long throw and dispersion (no need of a center fill). Subs were at ground level under each raiser. I measured a clean 95-100 dB @ 225 feet, with an excellent definition of the whole spectrum. I’m planning to expand with more ACT-F’s to rig them next time.  If you’re looking for price and performance, this is it!
Attached are some pictures, for those non-believers…
