Does anyone use or have a Behringer B205D mini PA/monitor? Or the Mackie?
What do you use it for? What are your opinions. Any other $200 options?

What’s your opinion of the new Bose item? What about partnering it with a Compact? Other than two Compacts, does anyone partner a Compact with something else? Results? Opinions?

As for under $200, I use the 8 inch Alto powered speaker. I usually use two of them. They work great for any senior event.


I do sometimes pair up my Bose Compacts with an EV 12" ZLX. I put it on the "club" setting on tune the EQ pretty low. This fills out the low end that the Compacts lack. When i have the funds I'll get a real sub but this works out well for now...

I use this harbinger M350 which I got as a SDOD FOR $250
Works very good. Multiple ways to set up, great sound IMO, light and easy to haul and set up
No longer available at MF But can maybe get elsewhere

I have a ZLX12p but haven’t had need to pair it with the Compact.
I want to stay away from mid-size powered speakers, so the Alto is out.
I’ve heard similar reports about the S1 - it’s out of the picture.
The Harbinger is three pieces; I don’t need that. I’m looking for more a table or mic stand solution.

Thanks guys for your valuable input.

Cassp, I would go with a pair of Bose L1 Compacts - just makes good sense. Granted, it's a lot more than $200, but from my own, personal experience, when I used a pair of L1 Compacts, the sounds throughout the entire venues were just awesome.

Good luck on whatever you decide upon,

Once again, The LD Systems Maui 5's sound better than the Bose, have more controls, deeper bass and about HALF the price.
Thanks Bose for pioneering the technology, but you need to catch back up!

Cass the harbinger is 3 pieces but can be used so many ways. One of which is attaching both satellites together and then just sliding them onto the top of the sub
They all just slide and interlock with each other. Very easy
Satellites can be kept together. Then just slide em onto the sub at the gig

Guys, let me clarify. I’m not looking to beef up my rig. I’m simply looking for a HotSpot style mini PA to use around the house or on vacay, maybe more with my VR-09 than my s950. I saw a pair of the Behringers on stage at the DSO last week and wondered if there’s anything better. I don’t want the Roland CM30, I’ve had them and They only have 1/4” inputs.
