Is a cheap, lightweight, min. 200W, powered, FRFR cab, with a flat response at max 50Hz, too much to ask for?

I picked up a Studiospares powered speaker for peanuts. It was use but even so still so cheap. 

Gigged it once in a largish city centre pub with a preamp. I lost the real, deepest bottom end is all. But the mids (which people seem to like) were fine.

He won’t want it, not now he’s played Woodstock’s Trace Elliot.

I LOVE Studiospares, I created the preamp thread and I have loads of their gear but it is definitely budget gear. How good are the speakers? Do you have any of the usual bc suspects to compare it to?

I do have a set of RCFs we use as our main out front for vocal, keys and maybe a bit of the drum kit depending on the room. I wouldn't compare it with those, but then, they're the best I've ever heard. I only planned on using it as a monitor as a wedding band I dep for are all in-ears, no backline. I'm not going to buy in-ears when I might only get one or two gigs from them but the monitor is always a useful bit of kit.

It handles everything I've thrown at it just fine and in case of dire emergency could do service as FOH. For £50 I'm very happy.
