We're going to have open-air party (50-100 people) for which we'll have to rent PA system. We're going to use notebook + midi controller for music source and we'll probably play electronic/house music mainly. Since we're a limited by transport, system should be as small as possible while as loud and as quality possible. I've got several offers but these 3 are in my top selection. Please note that 3rd one is almost 2x more expensive, so 1st or 2nd ones should be preferred.


1st:
2x EV ZLX12P
1x subwoofer FBT MAXX10SA


2nd:
2x Wharfedale SH1294
1x Wharfedale SH1500


3rd:
2x Martin Audio V3X
1x Martin Audio WSX


I don't have much experience with PA systems, so I was wondering if you could please advise me on which system to go with? Thanks in advance!

Per your other post it appears you've settled on this combination. These are small speakers (but your party is small) so should be fine for some background music but I wouldn't expect rave-like levels. The size of the generator will depend on how hard you want to drive it but for this set up at modest volume I would think you could use a Honda eu2000 successfully. I don't think you're in danger of damaging anything, if you try to drive it too hard it'll sound like crap that's all. If you sustain it at more than that you can probably blow it up if you really try but I'm assuming you'll have more sense than that.

Good luck!
