Looking for lower end PA speaker.

[DuckJordan]

Okay, here's the deal, Ive got $400's to spend on personal budget for a speaker, Its mostly going to be used for small party's think small 20'x30' room, I only need to run one speaker at the moment and would need to get a different mixing board if i decide to go for a stereo system.

So with all that taken out of the way I've been looking at a couple speakers.First off is the Mackie Thump TH-15A I would prefer to go with an active speaker as i would not want to have to haul an amplifier, a mixer and the speaker around as well as a laptop and a few other things, plus if i had to go with passive i would also need to buy an amplifier for the speaker with the $400.


Also what i have been looking at if i can get it cheep enough used or similar is the M-audo GSR-10's.

has anyone had any experience with either of these two, and i'm also open to suggestions.

If this price isn't a lie, you can get a Mackie SRM450V2 for $430.
Mackie SRM450V2 12" Two-Way Live Sound Powered Monitor Speaker

problem is shipping for that is going to be hell at 40 lbs it would likely cost over $100 for shipping, $400 is max range as far as that goes as well i may be able to spend 10-15$ more but $400 is about the top range.

did their shipping calc and without tax the speaker plus shipping will cost roughly $480 add tax and its over $500.. a little more than id like to spend thanks though.

Im finding out if this price is legit or not but...
JBL MP415 M-Pro Series Speaker and more PA Cabinets at GuitarCenter.com.
Then spend $300 on an amp.

It could be legit, the MP415 is a discontinued model and GC may be trying to reduce their inventory before the end of the year.

ELECTROVOICE ZXA1

Quick update on this, Just bought a ABehringer Eurolive B215A and looking for a pair, GC had only one and since they are no longer being produced by Behringer (they have moved on to the D) I found it cheap at 250$.

So I'm going to be posting in the Classifieds section for another to get a pair.
