The speaker stand approximately 4′ tall, have two large woofers at the bottom for bass and twp, one is a 8″ the other a small tweeter at the top.

Here’s my problem, sure i could go to some pawn shop and purchase an amplifier…but what type and how many watts. My thinking was to only push the speakers approximately to 1000 watts, with a good board type amplifier, using the Equalizer to make up for the remaining 500 watts in sound quality.

However, I’d hate to do that only to find out two months later that I should have utilized the entire 500 watts remaining and have to spend more money on a bigger amp/board. Right now I’m just running it through about 250 watts per channel from a factory Sony reciever…sounds flat as heck but it’s just the beginning.

So, what would you rate these Pro Studio Speakers at? Some have told me that a reputable local band may be interested in Renting them as they are that good. Yet, then I am at their mercy at what they run into them..and any possible damage.

I just wanted a good sound system, and for the price I paid for it I couldn’t pass them up. Stay at the 1,000 watts per channel with a board equalizer? I’m lost at PA systems…but this seems like a conservatively safe zone for beginning.
