Speaker Question

[tbowen]

Sorry guys, this isn't really about recording, in fact it isn't about it at all! But anyway, I am looking for a good speaker to use as mains(one on each side, stage left and stage right) in clubs and at parties that will handle bass, vocals, guitars, and drums. So basically a whole band. I was looking at the JBL with a 15", a 10", and a horn, but it is kind of out of my price range. I thought about getting a speaker for lows and then on for mids or a full range, but I do not feel like bi-amping. I would like to use one amp. I want to have good, low, tight, punchy bass, good vocals, lows and highs, nice roaring guitars and tight drums. We would be micing everything. I like the JBL's but they are high as dookie!(shit)
so help me out guys please!

Tbowen,
I own a pair of Carvin PA speakers and a 1500W Carvin amp to powder them. The speakers each have 2-15" 2-8" and a horn. They are rated at 800W per side. I was a bit worried about ordering carvin stuff because it was mail order and I could not hear them first, but the price just dragged me in. I'm glad I did buy them, they sound great. I play out all the time with them and they do pump out some sound. I would like to add some 18" speakers to my system for that extra low end but then again I am always told that I go overboard. Anyway, check out the carvin site it has all the pricing there. I paid $2300 for my whole system (24channel board, 1500W powder amp, 2-800W speakers, three vocal mics and cables.) You can't beat that. Good luck!!!
