Hi,
Not sure if I’m in right spot but I was given a Presonus StudioLive AR12 USB B-Stock mixer https://m.thomann.de/ie/presonus_studiolive_ar12_usb_b_stock.htm?o=1&search=1593035193 and was wondering what 2 15” speakers would go well with it. I’m new to mixers. Any help much appreciated.

What are you planning on doing with it? Do they need to be self powered, or do you have an amp? What's your budget?

Are you using it in a studio setup or for live work?

Thanks for the reply. I’m just using it in my back garden to do a little bit of DJing in the future if ever I have a party when COVID is gone. I do not have an amp so I assume self powered speakers.

Btw I don’t have a budget.

As in you don't have any money or you don't have any limit?

You're DJ'ing, does that mean you want your garden to be a venue where people just chill out with music in the background or do you want it to sound like a club where people can't talk to each other?

Without knowing anything about the space it's tough to say but 100-150W active
PA speakers will give you a lot of options, regarding which ones, look up reviews, research and make sure you have XLR inputs as your desk has XLR outputs.

do you think these would go together - mixer - https://www.thomann.de/ie/presonus_studiolive_ar12c.htm and 2 of these speakers - https://www.thomann.de/ie/behringer_eurolive_b215d.htm for playing music at partys in the future when all this lockdown is lifted. Also i would use it to record some music in the future.

They would go together fine, the speaker has an XLR input which is what you need. I would probably go for 1000 watt speakers, it's almost certainly more than you need but it'll mean you have lots of headroom.
