PA Speakers for Parties


Hello,
I am brand new to this whole scene. I am in a fraternity and got elected to run certain aspects of our parties. What we need are PA speakers (our old ones broke) They need to be self powered, I am not really sure what exactly a decent setup would be but parties are generally in a huge room with close to 100+ people. We had two older speakers that managed for a few years before biting the bullet. Anyone have any leads they can give me or tips, brand new to this whole thing.

Lots of little active nearfield monitors in that price range (Behringer, M-audio, KRK) but they aren't for party level SPL's. More realistically, over $2000 (bigger Mackies and JBLPro). Then, you have to convert to XLR.

Cheaper to pick up some old Advents, or whatever, and a used receiver in a yard sale or your local craplist.
