I have a twofold question:
I'm looking to buy a PA system for around $2,000. It needs to have enough power to fill an auditorium that seats 300 people and sounds like a barn. Should I go with passive or active monitors? Should I include a mixing board and power amp?
I will also be doing live recording using my Fostex VF160 for now, with a strong possibility of being able to upgrade in a few years. I need this system to work well with the VF160. Any suggestions?
I've been looking at the Mackie 808S and CR300 speakers PA system. Anything better for the money ($1600)? Will this work well with my ideas for live recording? Are these separate issues (as I think they are, yet interconnected)?
