I have the sona elan32. I bought a pair to relace my elite speakers.I had also used bass bins and so toted around 4 speakers and a lot of weight.The elites are great speakers for their size,but I needed the bottom end at some gigs.The sonas are 36lbs a piece have a fifteen inch speaker and a horn and a built in 450 watt amp. They also have four imputs and an eq which is very responsive.I paid $565 each for them at music 123. The mackies are also excellent,but are more expensive and heavier.The sonas will do the job for a crowd of 100 or more.
