Hey there Prako2,

It really depends on crowd size, as the more bodies you have in the room, the more sound absorbs. I always suggest aiming for the largest venue you will be playing, how may people, and if you will have a house PA you can also jack into.

For performances under a hundred, you can get away with either a couple of decent studio monitors or a single powered speaker. Though Studio Monitors have small cones and don't cover a room as efficiently.

I certainly plus one JBL Eons if you ever plan on doing large scale shows. Two Eons can easily do a one man show of five hundred or more. I really only can vouch for the first and second series of Eons, I had way too many issues with Eon 3's that I cannot recommend them. Just make sure to pair them with a good mixer to really get the most out of them.

If you can find a good price on a EON 1, that thing is a beast of a tank. I can't even sum up the abuse those speakers suffered, but they played amazing until I sold them. I hear they are still being used to this day.

Now, those are really expensive options. If you want to go there powered speaker route, check out models from EV, Yorkville, or Yamaha as you can generally find them cheaper then JBL's.

C-sharp when you cross the street… or you’re going to B-flat.
