Sorry, but being new to the forum I forgot to let on I am from Downunder, and in the southern state of Tasmania. The best price I can get so far on a new PA2x is $5150AUD landed at my door, but the G70 a little higher. The PA1xPro Elite for $4999AUD, but still looking which way to go.

I would like to get some middle of the range powered speakers that are not too heavy to carry and quick to set up. Not being professional as yet, but getting back into playing after a very long break.
Not sure if a portable PA would be better for my situation, running a CD player for intermission etc.

So, as i am not very experienced any help is very appreciated, thanks again.
P.S. always learning...........
