    Thanks for the Story aha! Very informative and much needed for a novice like myself. Okay so the Ibiza set is 2 300w 8″ speakers with a 800w subwoofer for just short of £285 it seems the best option for myself without going and getting an amp then a set of speakers for around the same price, or is it? This is the Ibiza set could you take a look and tell me if its any good for doing small gigs while I’m getting known – as your more knowledgeable about this topic than myself aha! – http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150984224176?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    As it goes for the cables I will order up a few of those then and a RCA to XLR cable just in case I need to connect up to bars Pa as you previously said. Again thanks for your help you are giving me no end of great knowledge! – You got to start somewhere right!

    Sorry for the delay. Some family stuff going on.

    I looked at the link you sent me, and if you want my opinion, unless they sound really good (which I can’t tell from the pics/features, but seriously doubt) I personally would never buy such a set. There is all kinds of stuff you don’t need , but DO pay for (money that didn’t go in to better drivers or amps). I think they look sheepishly amateuristic, but that is just my personal opinion.

    Be aware that there is no power in the satellites (that I can see), you’ll always need the sub ( which houses the amp). If the main amp blows, you are left soundless. Two true active speakers would offer you redundancy if one blows, you still have the other one going. It has happened to me once and I was sooooo happy I could just play on.

    I stick with my earlier advice, get some 10″ PA speakers like the Behringer EuroLive B210D with digital (built in) amp, which are small enough to use while practicing and have enough power for small house/birthday parties. You can always add a sub later if you want the extra uhmpfff (and the pleasure of fitting the thing in your car and hauling it around :-)).

    They come in at about 144 euro each, 290 for the set. That boils down to 240 pounds or less? Leaves you money to get some decent speaker stands (it is a good investment,get K&M ones, they’ll outlive you) and perhaps some cables.

    If you are lucky enough having to play a bigger gig, rent bigger and better.

    Just my two cents. Good luck with your choice!

    Serato is my software of choice (that I have foolishly brought when my N4 isnt supported yet) and it plays through my controller via my software of course and I have just purchased 4 speakers of a total output of over 1000w and a 1000w amp so that should do me well for most gigs and if bigger I can use the venues stuff 🙂
