    Mackie SRM 450s would be ideal.

    Indeed they would, but if price were an issue, W Audio would get my vote. ( though they are relatively heavy )

    how much are the new db's - they are pretty good by all accounts and have RCF drivers in apparently?

    The 450's are a bit pricey @£400 each.

    In my price range I've discovered the following:

    ALTO TS112A - £219 ea (122Db - 125Db peak)
    W-Audio PSR12A - £247 ea (124Db)
    Wharfedale Titan 12 - £275 ea (128Db peak)

    You can get a decent second hand pair of Mackies for around £500.

    My advice is to spend around £600 - £650 on a good S/H pair of Mackie 450V2s, the added bonus is, if you look after them, they will still be worth that this time next year, you can't say that for the budget speakers on your list, and they will blow the 'Thumps' out of the water.

    All good advice above, I know budget is an issue when it comes to new kit, it was for me, but I think I bought about 4 pairs of speakers, before I bought the srm's, and for what I would get for the other speakers, it's hardly worth selling them, so I have them still. I know its easier said than done, but if you buy right, you should only have to buy once, well within reason.
    I never thought I would say it, (becuase I am very impaitent when getting new kit), but If you can wait untill you can save for a better budget, do so, you won't regret it.

    It does make me laugh. Why not just put the power in RMS like they did with the 450s?
    I nearly fell for this when I first started out - Very nearly bought a pair for my main playout - Glad I didnt.
