Hope your still out there, a late response from somebody new to this list. I'm not a pro but I have a thought on your quest. I don't think your idea is out of line. I tend to think outside of the box regularlly as well. I think voice could use more definition this day in age ("Uhh, I can't understand the wooorrds"). Your average electric guitar is without need of additional amplification in a small to med sized space. Amplifing voice reduces your power and power handling needs.
That may just play perfectly into the hands of this recommendation.
>>>KLIPSCH HERESYS<<< Not the most affordable speaker you could find, but they are always for sale on ebay. (often mentioned as being previously used for PA for an accoustic guitar/singer)
The home versions are rated at 105 wpc handling. There is a Heresy I & an updated Heresy II. There is also an "Industrial Heresy" in a road ready cabinet and rated at 125 wpc. All are fuse protected I believe. I'm not sure of the component difference between the 3. I know Klipsch has a forum on their sight for Q & A you can find out on.
I need to go there to find out as well. I own a single Heresy II and have been watching ebay for an affordable mate or components to build one. The Heresy II really screams and are pretty darn efficient @ 98 db spl. It has rock solid base response and seem pretty even on freq sound levels, not "honky" like most PA horn speakers too heavy on midrange.
I am as you are, putting together equipment for my kids band. For bigger halls these may not take the power to provide enough sound to fill it, so I'm stuck too. I've been working from the amp up for the same goal as you...for the "audiophiles PA system." My motivation is that there are more days listening to recorded music then there band days. I'd like a system to do both well, each use benifitting the other through durability and sonic quality.
I'm with ya,
James.
PS. I think I realize that one difference between the "Industrial Heresy" & the Heresy II. The spl on the Industrial is 92db & the II is at 98. The Industrials also are a ported cabinet vs. the II's sealed (base response won't be as low).
PSS. If $ is no object...There is always the "Industrial LaScallas,"
but they're crazy $$$
ANY THOUGHTS TO ADD? PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
