Anyone Got Cheap Thomann Speaker Experience?

    Am curious about the sound quality from the cheap full range speakers from Thomann, specifically the sub E200 price range.

    For example something like this:
    http://www.thomann.de/thoiw6_the_box_pa202_fullrangesystem_prodinfo.html

    Assuming its coupled with a decent PA would the sound quality be acceptable for a small pub sized gig? Im looking to maybe pick up a PA sometime way way in the future when Im loaded, but dont want to spend an arm and a leg, but dont want to get something unusable.

    To put it in Guitar Amp terms I understand, Im talking about avoiding the likes of a godawful cheap Behringer guitar amp that is ungigable, but still spending budget bucks for an acceptable Fender.
    Am also attracted by the ease of full range speakers for dragging gear around.

    Any advice here?

    i avoid buying stuff that big from thomann incase something goes wrong but should be ok. The thomann stuff could be ok but beware about sending it back coz it takes ages and can be expensive

    Honestly, the best sound I ever heard in a "pub gig" was in the Boom Boom Room when I was in there last year. The entire rig was Thomann t.series stuff. Speakers, monitor, graphic EQs, poweramps. The exception was that the mixer was Behringer. Unbelieveable really - I hate Behringer.

    What size gig are you talking about, practically?

    The powered speakers might make more sense than the unpowered ones - they save you having the get a poweramp or a powered mixer and all the pointless complications that ensue from that.
