I have owned almost everything, including JBL powered Eons, unpowered Peaveys of all sizes, Logitech Z2200s and many others.
I now have Barbettas, which were by far the best of all the others, and light-weight to boot. I played outdoors for 400 people with them.
Then I bought the Bose PAS, and it blows even the Barbettas away. Amazing power, clarity and distribution. You won't need monitors, and you won't need multiple speakers.
