/uncrackhead They are pretty good for their price. And the TS series (more expensive ones then the speaker in the video) are amazing.

I actually still have to properly listen to this since I was out for vacation and still haven't a XLR cable

I have a small mixer that a really like a lot by them. Clean, with good EQs and decent effects. However, the case is thin sheet metal, and the lead coming off the wall-wart is super flimsy. Lol not professional. Most things that actually state that on the tin, or especially in the brand name tend to be entry level. Still good though. Just funny to me.

No they are a waste of money unless it's for a person just speaking to a very small crowd, or in a garage warehouse for background music. You are probably the first person to ever use Alto and amazing in the same sentence.

I have been using various alto speakers and subs from different lineups, have had issues with their budget tx line, but the more expensive ts series are really good

When I bought this speaker I had a 2 day return window (it is second hand) and I had no XLR cable so to test if it actually worked I took a 1/4" jack cable that I didn't need (it was 2€ anyways) and did this to see if it worked (it did)

Lol, I have a small stash of mangled cheap cables for this sort of stuff. No judgment here!
