What sound equipment do you use? Small room, house, ect. That's what I'm interested in hearing from other people. I like the sound I got from my Home stereo system that consisted of two speakers I sat on my shelf. Perfect for the practice room.

Im wanting to do away with that. Not easy to transport to and fro. Too many wires.. Im wanting similar system with two speakers I can connect to a mixer. I have a small behringer mixer I use at home to practice through.

Would Studio Monitors be what I am looking for?? They are similar in size to my stereo cd player speakers.

A PA Speaker some of yall might use, but I want a stereo system for the house. Set one on each side of my steel amp. Wouldn't that be too loud. PA Speakers are bigger speakers like 10 inch. Do they make 5-8 Inch range?

And with my mixer, I read they (I think) recommend Active Powered Amplifier speakers not Passive?

Im just looking for a home stereo sound. Loud enough to hear over my steel amp in the home. Not large room or building. Just something easy to setup and break down (like a PA speaker just smaller speaker size) that I can carry over to friends houses. A boombox isn't what Im looking for because too many wires exist if the speakers are separated from the control amp. If they are together as one boombox package. Im not having those speakers separated beside my steel Amp.


Thanks for any insight..

Keenan

You might want to look at something like this;

Behringer EUROLIVE B205D Active PA/Monitor.

If you get two you can link them together, or run them seperatly from your mixer.

I play mine through a small Custom PA system, which I have set up all of the time. I also use the PA, for jamming with friends and practicing with the band. Larry

Telonics rack system, laptop into the aux input. Stereo to the headphones or speakers, same as the steel.

I used to play through an old guitar amp and it worked okay.
When I switched to a P.A. or powered studio monitors I notice it is clearly a more pleasant experience.
Or... I use a Mackie SRM150 on occasion and that is handy and also serves as a multi-funtion monitor with built in Mixer/E.Q.
