Bill, I think you would like the BA330..and I think 2 units would be awesome..

If you compare to most 12" single speaker like a Cube 60 (old model) or a KC100 or 150..the Ba330 more than hold it's own..especially..the BA330 gets very loud and maintains a quality sound...not possible with most 12 and 10 inch speakers (powered)..Vocals, arranger play shines with the BA330..and yes you can cover most DJ Dance music too...I have only tries a single BA330 , but I can imagine the coverage of 2 units would be super..

I even was impressed with the BA330 on a pole..still had decent bass response...if you keep the unit close to a wall..even on a pole..the bass is even more responsive...

Hitman..You have to look at what you get for $599 with the BA330..A quality sound..that you won't get from the Mackies you mentioned....This also has features...like a digital mixer with flexible outputs..anti feedback that works...effects that sound great..battery powered that last for 12 hours...

I wouldn't trade my BA330 for none of the models you mentioned....and besides that a single Podium 8 or 12 ..blows away the Mackies and eons..at $100-$250....If you want power ..you won't beat the Podiums...The sound quality..belongs to the BA330.....


Bill I am just testing the BA330 the way you would use it..Arranger play..playing big brass patches ..busy style patterns..vocals (that don't feed back)...and also some MP3's like Turn the beat around, Cha Cha slide..etc....it handles all this...PS: even on battery power..

If you need more signal input..a mixer like my Edirol adds more and still maintains a quality sound...Even without an external mixer..I still have head room..Master is at 2:00 and the individual channel at 3:00..

Keep in mind this is 15 watts a side stereo..and it is performing like 10 fold in the competition world..
