Re: guitar amp+speakers vs. PA



Well, I've battled through the same territory myself.  I ended up with a
pretty strange system which includes:

A Hafler 250W/channel (can't remember model #)) amp driving 2 EV1803 
cabinets
(18 inch bass, 8 inch mid, and a horn for highs - the horn can be 
attenuated)

2 Marshall 50W heads, each driving a 4x10 cabinet.

A Crown Powerbase1 (200W/channel) amp driving a pair of jbl 15 in speakers

A Phase Linear 400 driving a pair of Bose 901's

I use a 2 way Xover and 2 ADA MEQs (midi controlled equalizers) on the way 
to
the amps

It gets the job done, but I really need to crank it to get it to sound 
right.
 At low volumes it actually sounds better coming through a 50 watt receiver
and some AR-1 speakers.
