[QUOTE="Brian Boru, post: 56041"] Re: Another powered speaker comparison Thank you for the response Caleb. For me it really is about the money. Musician's are flakey and bands come and go. The best way around that is for me to run the show and run it like a business. That means providing a PA. The equipment I have is old, it's OK for a low level band practice which is fine since I don't like a loud stage volume, and a usable start-up PA system is needed. I'm new to the music scene where I live so I don't have many contacts which means the band will be a start-up (low paying gigs to start). From that perspective purchasing a pair of TT25A's (I'm seeing $3.6K+/cab on feebay) and a MixWiz3-16 ($1K) plus monitors easily puts the tab at $10K for a start-system and that doesn't include more mics, stands, EQ etc. It's difficult to justify to the wife, or for someone else a significant other " hey I'm going to pull $10K+ out of our savings so I can make $100/night until the higher paying gigs come in" LOL, A reality for a lot of musicians I'm sure. I've heard the argument about spending $2K on a guitar so why not $10K-$15K on a PA. Simple...it takes a LOT longer to save that kind of money. I did read another post of yours if I'm not mistaken, and I'll paraphrase here, that "the RCF 312A wasn't a bad choice if you look really hard at the price". Got it. An OK speaker for the money but that's it. LOL For the price of 1 TT25A you can buy 8 - 312A cabs but, if one were to use 4 boxes as FOH would it sound like garbage? The finances of a local start-up band are a far cry from the available funds of a Church, successful small business, or a Corporation. What would you do with a budget of say $5K? I'm all ears. :razz: [/QUOTE]
