Im looking for a high quality set of PA speakers for use at my house and at football tailgates. I currently use a $250 Jawbone BIG Jambox (link)but am ready to upgrade to something with better clarity, slightly more volume, and more bass.
When tailgating the system will be powered by a Yamaha quiet 2000 watt generator. My main concern is high quality sound, not maximum dBa's, which seems to be the focus of many PA system specs and reviews.
Craigslist and ebay have been pretty dry in cities near me. Once a week or so new speakers get listed but have so far either had bad reviews or are very old with limited or no reviews available.
In terms of budget I'm hoping for speakers and stands for an all-in price around $2,000, but price is flexible. QSC and Peavey have quite a few PA models that would get me around this price, but they seem like overkill in wattage/dBa. As an example the QSC k10 and k12 both seem like significantly more volume than I need, but more importantly I can't tell what kind of sound quality I would get from them: link
Thanks for any advice. I feel really lost in this!
