It seems as though finding the right speakers for gigs usually comes down to weight vs sound quality. That seems to be narrowing down with new technology so that good sound quality and manageable weight can both be had in new speaker designs. 20 years ago lugging around big speakers didn't seem to bother me but I am at an end of gigging now that I am over 78. My last set of speakers were great sound but still pretty heavy. They are the Barbetta Sona SE-41's. I once played at an outdoor function with about 600 people and they worked great. Now they sit by my Tyros 4 unconnected!
