I'm looking for specific advice on a choice between two different speakers. These speakers are to be used for a portable dance/disco system in the 160 Watts RMS per channel category. I had been considering Klipsch LaScalas previously, but they seem to be the "Cadillac" version at $1500 for the pair. Both of the speakers I am currently considering are in the ~$950 per pair range. The first is the Pevey (sp?) Project Five sound reinforcement speaker. They seem well suited for the aplication (heavy duty construction, good components, etc.) but have a limited frequency response (60hz-16Khz). Also, they are not horn-loaded. The other is a speaker from TOA (anybody ever heard of these guys?). They seem to be the same heavy duty construction, have an extended frequency range (30hz-20Khz), and are in the same price range. Please share any knowledge of the two manufacturers and their reputations (especially TOA- I'm fairly familiar with Pevey). Also, any specific feedback on these speakers? Thanks in advance for your halp. Sincerely, Harold Noyes !hplabs!hp-pcd!harold

We fell in love with ElectroVoice Sentry IV(B?) big black folded horn jobs. They're the only decent speaker that electrovoice makes. Plenty of efficiency for deafening disclones and not that heavy (although rather bulky). The sound good too. -Ron
