I have a small PA with a couple of ElectroVoice ZLX-15 speakers (unpowered) with a Yamaha EMX312C powered mixer.
Sounds great. Not too expensive. http://www.electrovoice.com/product.php?id=2582 I have a much larger PA with a digital mixer, QSC powered speakers & subs, but the EV's sound very smooth & good without much EQ-ing. I like 15"s for the mains if I'm not going to have a separate sub(s) |

Need a price range to work with. There are some really nice sounding cheap speakers on the market...I should say relatively cheap. How much can you spend and do you want to play out with them or just play around.
If you would like something powered I highly recommend these, for the price on sale they are freaking awesome. I have four of them that I use as monitors. I would put them up against speakers that cost twice their regular price. |

I have been leaning towards the EV's mentioned above. Looked at the EV ZLX powered 12's yesterday...thinking 15's are going to be better though.
anyone using the ZLX series? any preference on the powered versus un-powered ZLX's? Also...one brand that pops up a lot locally is Seismic Audio..I know it is not EV quality...but is anyone using those?? burning hotel points on this purchase...my toy fund from my travels. |

I use the QSC KW series every Sunday for a portable church where I do FOH and not have they been pretty darn indestructible I often hear people compare them favorably to the main campus that has Myers cabinets

The inputs are wonky and if a good connection isn't made it creates distortion. I finally had to call QSC and they were well aware of the issue. They recommended using XLR turnarounds and using the outputs as inputs. The output jack locks the cable in place whereas the input jack does not. I have tried this with limited success. The distortion problems have never really gone away. The K series monitors I use are still prone to crapping out if guys want them loud. I would never spend my own money on them. |

I would go with the ones I linked to way before I would even look at Seismic Audio. I gig with mine and they have been fantastic speakers. Too many are brand sensitive...If it ain't got a certain logo on the front it isn't any good. |

Do you ever intend to play out, providing your own PA? If so, you can use monitor wedges as your "mains" in the practice hall, and as floor monitors when gigging out.

ended up buying the EV ZLX-12P's. Powered, 1000 watt
light, easy to use, great connections to add subs to them if I want to run them with subs. Also loved how they can be run as wedge monitors as the system grows. they sound awesome....crisp, clean, nice bass response...great audio range. thanks for the advice! |
