Best inexpensive PA loudspeaker (powered)?

[taylorwilsdon]

I'm looking for a good sounding, relatively inexpensive loudspeaker to take over drinking (loud, lots of people) music duties. I've used Mackie Thump and JBL Eon speakers in the room before (have a lot of dj friends) and both work tremendously, but I'm not looking to spend that kind of money. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try Behringer?
You might also look for some Cerwin Vega! home speakers on craigslist or something. Those carry some great volume.

Perfect. My buddy used Behringer's before he got the JBLs and I liked the sound, just couldn't put my finger on the brand. Picked up an active 15" from "Wholesale Music"

Not to make you second guess your purchase but Behringer is generally crap. For what you're using them for they should be fine. They're definitely going to need some eq though.
