FWIW, I would have to disagree with the Paradigm monitors. I've heard them side-by-side with some M&K bookshelf speakers and the Paradigm's sounded great but they really colored the sound. IMHO, there was just more mud in the bass and the mids seemed a little hyped. In general, studio monitors will ...

S.I.R. will rent you a P.A. to do the job and deliver it. Their warehouse is right on 36th and 9th so you should be fine.

Nah, it the lousy clip design that is it's main 'detractor' -- what a f'n drag that system is. All plastic threads, a slide-in clip that barely locks, ugh. That's the truth!

I have two thoughts and both are just guesses but they might help. 1) The speakers you are describing sound like speakers that are made to be used in a swimming pool.

FWIW, If you're recording these groups, you may want to dedicate a good portion of your budget to getting a nice, matched pair of pencil-type condenser microphones. If you have a good pair of mics, you can create an archival recording of just about any of the types of groups you listed. For even big...
