    If you want reliable hard wearing speakers that are suitable for Disco/PA /Band use I been very pleased with my passive Peavey speakers.

    Never let me down.

    Theres probably a few people that dont like them--but I dont take any notice of them

    I have been very pleased with them--they do a job for me.

    I was thinking preamp speakers would be easier in terms of storage and installation, but like I said, I've had mixed feedback from people who have used them in the past...
    How come you 'blow' so many speakers? If I were you, I'd take a look at mixer/amp levels and make sure they're matched as well as buying some new speakers.

    Active speakers win hands down in my book (so long as you don't overload the input with distorted fuzz at too high a level).

    I think my signature says it all, I recently up (some would say down) graded to Class-D speakers and I'm extremely happy with them. Got 2 subs, 2 mids, 2 tops and an amp all for £650. I now have multiple set up options and IMO they sound amazing.

    TBH, im really suprised with my new Tapco (Mackie) 69' series speakers, as even though they were at the top of my budget, they sound great and have plenty of power available. The build quality is fantastic too, and better than a lot of speakers at the same price.
    Not only do you get the same compression driver with thermal protection that they use in their priciest speaker in the 69' range, but you also get a Mackie designed vented woofer.

    I would definately reccommend them.

    which is not my style I know! . Just like to say I'd agree with Tony A1DL, it's all about the sensitivity!

    I agree totally.
    I would get myself to a good dealer and have a listen to what they have.
