Congratulations on your purchase. The Pa2X is a huge upgrade from your Pa80 and you will be very happy with it.

Sorry can't help with the Monitors your looking for due to the fact that you are looking for universal PSU's.

Just a internet etiquette tip for you thoguh, it's considered rude to type with the caps locks on. It's deemed as shouting or screaming at people and it will at some point get you into an argument with someone.

Regards
James

So 61 keys and built in speakers wasn't all THAT important after all?

Oh, and trust me, James, having caps lock on is the LEAST of the rudeness that goes on here..

They may be more than your budget allows, but I find the Mackie SRM150's to be quite excellent stage monitors. They may be more than you want to spend, but you can always start with just one (in all probability, most church PA's will be in mono, so hearing stereo for yourself is no big deal) and add the second later.

The thing that swings it for me is the sheer variety of connectors on the Mackie's - 1/4", XLR, RCA, pass-through jacks, phantom power, high impedance input for electric guitar, and a full 3-band EQ. It really is a Swiss Army Knife for monitoring purposes, plenty loud enough (150W), and has a handy mount on the underside for mounting on a mike stand.

I've got two, and they have been invaluable, not just for me, but if another player has any kind of monitoring issue, I can easily loan him or her one, and it's problem solved!

Without a small sub, I wouldn't even consider them for a small PA, in fact, I've never even been tempted to TRY them so far in this role. But for what you describe you need, they sound perfect. Perhaps the Podium 10"s might work, but they are much bigger and don't mount up as easily. Plus there are varying reports about their reliability. Mackie stand by what they make, and are easy to get serviced (not that I've needed that...)

They ARE multi-voltage (100-240V 50-60Hz), so that solves that issue...

Give them a try.

Oops! Confused studio monitors with stage monitors. Sorry!

I use Mackie HR824's at home, but I'm afraid that's a fair bit outside your price range (but killer if you can ever afford them)...

"While many people think writing a subject or electronic message in all capital letters makes their messages stand out from the rest, nowadays the opposite may occur. Many people look at such a practice as amateurish, and doing so may decrease the level of respect the intended recipient has for you. Others may consider using all capital letters the same as shouting, and such a practice is considered rude."-Horatio Alger

I do admire his ability to recognize bullsh*t from REAL netiquette.

What's better? Being polite while capitalized, or being an ass in lower case?

I KNOW WHAT I PREFER...

The trouble with resistance to change is that it tends to lump in what is GOOD for the country along with what is bad...

Almost every social program in this country (integration, desegregation, Medicare, Medicaid, public assistance for higher education, environmental standards, clean air, clean water, yada yada yada) was at one time, opposed by the Republicans.

I had to laugh when I see the teabaggers crying out 'No government interference with MY Medicare' completely ignoring the fact that, Medicare IS the Government... AND that the very same kinds of people as they are were protesting against it when it was first proposed.

Change just SEEMS scary as it happens, but so far, the sky hasn't fallen, and all the opposers to most of these programs are VERY much for them now (other than the racists!).

But hey! USA! We're #17! Go Team! Let's shoot for 100(th). If we put our (lack of) minds together, we can achieve this...

Actually a LOT of folks that voted for him are now saying 'What the Hxxx is he doing/thinking...that's NOT the change I voted for.
Most everything he said/promised during the election...he has now changed direction on.
But, congress is the real problem...the way they do business (REPS and DEMS alike for years now) is disgraceful to our country and out intelligence.
