PA for home Djing

[Fmshred]

I think i will go for the Bose 102s. And combine them with a sub and Amp. Which t-amp do I need for good sound and to combination with a Subwoofer? Should I go for active or passive subwoofers?

Is this amp needed or something less expensive? http://www.thomann.de/de/the_tamp_e400.htm

Thanks!

If you are going Bose get the 201's not 102's. And honestly do not buy them brand new unless you want to spend a fortune!

The 102's only have a single 4' (?) full-range speaker and really only designed as fill/surround speakers, you will lose ALOT of top end and bass, where the 201's are "proper" full range speakers. - The 102's also require a speaker controller to get the best out of them anyhow.

And given the chance I'd go for Control 5's over 201's.

The amp will work fine however you might prob need to keep the volumes down on it and if its got a fan (no specified) will be noisy.

An active sub would be better for handiness sakes.

No offense mate, but were giving you solutions and you are going off on your own looking at completely different (worse) gear ?

Thanks for your answer! Sorry that was just a mistake I meant that I want to get the 201 not 102´s.

Dont know why you'd get a PA amp to go with HiFi speakers, doesn't make sense to me.

Why not just go down the route of an actual HiFi amp, they'll be more input options too.

Okay the problem is I have no clue about amps. So which hifi amp would be good for the 201 bose or control 5s with maybe a subwoofer?

I'd go with a powered sub to be honest, any would make a difference and you can pick a powered one up reasonable enough, check here ... http://www.richersounds.com/products...ers/subwoofers

Amp wise the s400 you mentioned on thomann is actually pretty decent although probably a little too much umph for the Bose or control5's perhaps the smaller fanless s100 MKII would be a better bet.

If it were me, I'd personally probably either pick up a secondhand "vintage" 70-100w Rotel, yamaha or NAD or something on Ebay, failing that something like a Dayton or Muse T-Amps. They are tiny but they pack a punch.

Okay thank you! I will get a powered sub.Are there any specifications an Amp should have? Maybe I can get something cheaper than the T-amp?

Check the Muse amps.

And the link I posted earlier in the thread.

The muse patch mentioned is linked in my last post as well ... you really won't get anything better for the price (40 euro!).

Incidentally the sub $60 Muse and the Dayton amps I linked to ARE known as T-amps (T is for Tripath).. get the 50x50watt versions at least.

I think you might have gotten a lil confused over the t-amps because Thomann's own brand name is "t.amp" - but they are actually not t-amps.

If you are looking at other second hand amplifiers on ebay etc .. try to get something with at least 50w per channel and stick with brand names.

How many people do you expect to be listening? How big is the listening area? Is this for a big house party or is is just for you an a couple of friends. I know people who have huge overkill setups in their house with CV,JBL and EV bass bins but if it's for practice and chilling with :; I would suggest getting some cheap monitors with a sub,or a HiFi stereo setup. My setup is some old hifi Panasonic speakers and this amp:
