Peavey makes dozens of speakers, so you'll have to be much more specific. Some are rather good, but most are entry level. Driving a typical Peavey speaker with a Bryston makes about as much sense as putting a Rolls Royce engine into a Yugo.

Also, in this world of pro audio, the room makes a much more significant contribution to overall sound quality as well. Amps, not so much. Microphone choice and placement are other big contributors too.Best regards,
Rooms: can't change 'em. Amps: minor, except for current delivery.Microphone choice and placement are other big contributors...
Absolutely. Along with a knowledgeable sound guy, not some wet-behind-the-ears 22 year old who's never opened an acoustics book.
Many of the younger FOH guys do seem to have a much better undertsanding of the fundamentals than my generation did at their age. I've seen many of them using pocket computers to figure out boundary effects/wavelengths etc, though I'd be more impressed if they could figure those things out in their heads like us old timers do. What can only come with age is taste, and that seems to be in short supply.
Pocket computers and wavelengths. Nice. Ask 'em about a mic's pickup pattern at various frequencies, or the SPL of a trumpet at 3", or how to add presence to a vocal, or how to reduce cymbal wash. You've made my point.
