Simple, definitely, they are really easy to use. The remote you use to control it looks pretty dated in current installes, especially since you are suppose to use that as your main source to control volume, although I doubt anybody really did it that way for very long.
I initially purchased one thinking the EQ would solve all my problems, an EQ in the hands of a rookie can do more harm then good. Its a cool EQ but the xover slope just isnt worth mucn anymore IMO. Although if I found a nice mint one, I wouldnt mind giving it a try again, maybe I am to harsh on 12db slopes?

I didnt use it mutch but boy did I ever think it looked cool.
