scott: " ... We do, however, want clear, distortion-free sound reproduction with enough spare power to reproduce the "grunt" in the kick-drum and bass guitar. ..."This may seem a little strange as a "starter" PA ... but:
1) decent mixer, 4 to 8 mic inputs, balanced line, stereo out, portable = <<$200 used
2) decent medium power solid state amp, stereo, balanced inputs, level control (or not), able to handle 4 ohm loads all night long = << $300 used, possibly new.
3) Three or four quality mics ... pick 'em, balanced lines = << $150 to maybe $200.
4) Two MMG planar flat panel speakers ( http://www.magnepan.com/_mmg.php ) = <<$600 delivered, new. (You will have to build roadie cases and stands for these). ...This is basically the system we will be installing for the house PA t our local boat club for small stage, acoustic sets and low power amplified sets.
