G’day Danny.
I used the Cerwin Vega XD5 system outdoors at a pool party 2 weekends ago. I had to push it to max volume to let the bass out. Having said that, we did get a noise complaint from a neighbour. Also, there was a little breeze flying around and didn’t have to wear headphones to hear the mix. Performed above my expectations for a set of desk top speakers.
In house its more than suitable.
Positives: Clarity, relative portability and won’t break the budget. Not pretentious. Perfect for small gatherings. RCA cables.
Addition: A guy at the pool party gave me his old pair of Peavey SP Subcompact 18X subwoofers. These things are freaking massive. Now I have to think about getting an amp and other stuff….aaaaarrrgh!!
