Hi-Fi and Pro equip. like Mackie, Stewart or JBL

Hi folks,

I've asked the same question before, I looked around
(maybe not enough) but I am still puzzled.
I need to play music (Classical,folk) into a room with
100 to 150 people on cultural gatherings of an association I belong to. Some people told me home Hi-Fi equipment will
not do it. I went to a store and they showed me equipment
like Mackie, Stewart and JBL with 400 to 600 watts of power.
I did not have a audio CD or cassette tape to try them out.
How close to "good sound" these type of equipment come to?
Comparing them to home hi-end audio equipment these ones are very cheap! How good much of sound can they produce?
Will these equipment do it or I need a 'Cello Duet 350' or better?
Please, help!

not all pro-audio equipment sounds bad. wayne of boldercables.com, is pleased w/his qsc audio amp - read it about it on the qsc forum on harmonicdiscord.com. i'm considering a pair to use w/my subwoofers. also, the art di/o dac is a pro audio unit, & it embarrasses many audiphile-grade dacs. all of the above are available at fullcompass.com, at prices a lot less than already-good retail prices... joel at x1116 has always been very helpful & friendly... i imagine there are other pro-audio retailers w/competitive pricing.
