I've just got a pair of 200watt PA speakers cheap. My mate bought them brand new and used them once for a party, and never used them again. His Mrs has been on at him to get rid of them for ages so I got them for £25. Bargain.
Now, I will be adding these to my current setup - 2xTechnics 1210's, a Vestax PCV180 mixer and a Numark Axis 9 CD deck.
At the moment i've got one active speaker which I use as a monitor. Im thinking of placing 1, or maybe both of these new speakers towards the back end of the room just to boost the overall volume up a bit, keeping my monitor in front of me.
I'm going to need an amp or could I run it off an old hifi? - I don't know much about passive speakers, i've always had active ones in the past. If I did get an amp would it have to give 200watts per channel out, to power the speakers sufficiently?
How much should I be looking to spend?
Many thanks.
