you could also look at the lem powered speakers and mixers good sound similar to spirit and mackie made by general music italy and as good as mackie but with lower price tag i use this set up for most of my gigs and the dsp on the powered speakers/monitors is good giving a good reproduction of our sound - guitar mandolin double bass and three vocals - i have been using this set upo for twelve months now , my only problem was getting hold of the gear as it sold out on arrival at my ;ocal shop in leeds.
