Have previously in a band colleagues two other brands owned and tried out, including a "percussion" for about 160, - EUR. This sounded louder overall and more dominant than the "Sela Varios SE 013", we found them but the entire play area rather just booming. The Sela is in this respect of the sound quality at least coequal competitors, and in a clear price superiority! The design of the front may be a matter of taste, have fallen to me in any case, the rounded soft edges. Unless one possesses technical skills and a few tools, also a self-assembly kit of Sela, where the curves sadly lacking in these sets can be seen very well but how solid this Cajons are built recommends.
All in all, from me a clear recommendation !!
