Need Help - bar band new PA
Forest Monroe:
My standard rock bar band plays about 1/2 times a month at local watering holes. Weird size rooms of typically 50-100 people, not large by any means. We aren't a quiet band, although we have tried at times to run everything through the PA and reduce our stage volume.
Our current setup is 2 crown amps, yamaha mixer, 2 yamaha s115v and a yamaha 18 sub. The setup worked great when we were a larger band playing larger venues but as we are now just 3/4 guys, we have stopped dragging the sub around and we only use the PA for vocals.
We want to ditch the amps, the rack and all the heavy gear and get 2 new powered speakers (with the idea to get a sub in the future to return to micing things) but right now they will be mainly for vocals. I have gotten so many mixed opinions from guitar center, forums, friends, sound guys that I really have no idea what we need/what is overkill. At this point I am considering 2 Yamaha DBR12s, 2 Yamaha DXR10s, or 2 EV ZLX12Ps. Those are what work in our price range. I'm leaning towards the DXR10 but was told by someone it would be overkill. Does 10/12 driver size matter much, and would we be better off saving money and going with the DBR or ZLX?

You're going to get varied opinions here too but before you get any responses you'll need to fix your log in name to your real name per the rules! Thanks!

Appreciate it

DXR10s are great. Nice sound, good warranty, good value.
Having a good quality, high powered speaker doesn't mean you have to turn it up.
If you upsize later, they make good monitors.
