Brent,
For about 4 years now I have been using a pair of little Mackie SRM150s as my personal stereo monitoring.

In a small space like an art gallery or something like that they can be the PA as well.
If I need to provide a bigger PA than that (with more ooomph), I patch in a pair of Mackie SRM450s.

It's ok for practicing but it's cumbersome to take the speakers places. Larger places have their own PA anyway. So I'm looking for something physically manageable for smallish places and/or maybe busking. Ideally it would be a little more powerful, too.

all... I just bought the biggest ones I could find on craigslist, cut open some speaker wire and connected them to the PA.
