This is a great suggestion ... another along the same lines are the Yorkville NX powered speakers. I use them and they are terrific ... and very highly regarded by working live sound pros. These have small mixers built in so your singer could connect an acoustic guitar, keyboard and a mic if ever desired. I love using one of these for small party gigs for exactly that purpose.Originally posted by mccreadyisgod
I'd recommend a Mackie SRM450 powered PA speaker for either... it's not as versatile, and doesn't have reverb, but it has great sound, clear and clean, loud as hell, and can be put through it's paces. You'd need a DI box or a cable converter (it only has XLR inputs) but it would work beautifully.

I didn't catch that post ... apparently "went with" should be understood to mean "already purchased". thanksOriginally posted by MichaelK

The Mackie, while a good-sounding unit, only has one input, so a small mixer would be needed. I've never used the Yorkville stuff, but I'd love to try it out (I live in a small market). JBL makes the Eon series, which is pretty robust, but I don't find them to be as clear. I also used a set of Crate powered PA speakers, which sounded surprisingly good, especially in the lows. Both the Eons and Crate speakers had rudimentary mixers built in (i.e. multiple inputs).Originally posted by Den

Yeah, they do sound good. Big, powerful, clean, not harsh at all. Gets all the highs, lows and everything in between.fast ricky love said:We gigged with the new Roland last week and we were all impressed, it sounded excellent and seems like a great deal for @ $500... thanks for everyone's input!
