PA for home Djing

[Fmshred]

Hey!

I´m looking for a powerful PA for a living room at home where I practice DJing. I had the Reloop ADM-5 but they were way to soft. I need something which has enough power and base. What would you recommend?

Thanks

I would FIRMLY recommend decent (100W, maybe?) hi-fi speakers and an amp.

I've recently bought a little T-amp from ebay, that sits PERFECTLY on the shelf on my Stanton Uberstand, and the sound (quality and volume) is magnificent.

I have 68w (4ohm)/50w (8ohm) T-amp going into 100w (8ohm) speakers.

That shit is LOUD and CRISP. It sounds BLOODY LOVELY, and can be had for less than £100.

I would agree the HiFi route would be a lot better, if my decks were downstairs they'd be run through the HiFi.

+1 on the T-Amp, and you can pick up decent S/H speakers for pittance on ebay these days e.g. JBL Control 5's or Bose 201's can be had for under $100 the latter stood the test of my old DJ shop for 7 or 8 years before it closed down (speakers were still fine).

If you are in the USA you might look at these - I had a pair at home for years, used them at parties and they kick.... loud and sound good. Real bargain for $100 and you can drive them on almost any amp easily, e.g. I ran mine off a car stereo and even an alarm clock radio at one point!

Any speaker can be easily paired up with an active sub if you are really lacking in the that dept.

Okay thanks guys! Here are some i thought about. Maybe you can tell me if any of these are decent:

I don´t want to pay more than 400€.

In a word No, none of them ... they are PA speakers designed for School Gyms/Bars/Bingo games ... they WILL sound like dog poo, all of them.

the box PA110 A Bundle would probably sound the best of the lot but you will not get still not get a decent bass response, PA systems are designed to throw the sound down a room at high volumes which is not what you want for home DJ'ing

Seriously, for home use, a good hi-fi setup as was suggested above will be wayyyy loud enough and actually sound good, not just loud in all the wrong places.

If you are lacking bass, get a sub

Try these:

Okay I see. So something like the Jb-Controls with maybe an extra sub would be the best.
