Well, as far as tops go, which do you think would mate the best with our dual-15" Peavey subs? I am looking for something that will do great in the midrange and not suck away all our budget for music stuff. I think that a two-way 12" cabinet would be the best balance with the dual-15's down below handling bass duty. I'm looking for something that can go loud without being fatiguing, since a large part of what the PA is amplifying is voice. The room is a large lecture hall with a balcony that sometimes gets filled, and about 400 seats.
Suppose I'm considering the MPro MP412 cabinet. What other models from other manufacturers would you suggest that I look at as a better alternative, while staying under $650 per box? (The MPros are $579 from Sweetwater.) Again, there will be acoustic and electrified instruments, drums, vocals, and voice being carried by these, and a Peavey Dual-15" subwoofer enclosure will be handling bass below 250 Hz, so that's how they fit into the system.
