i will be running mp3 of samples, sequences, and programed drums through what we call our live monitor system. unlike most traditional bands, we dont have a drummer and we are not looking to get one. what we need is something that replicates the live acoustic power of a drum set on stage. our old p.a. might be taken away from us and im looking into powered speakers and a 4 channel mixer. we are using electric/techno sounding drums and want to exploit the fact that they are electronic.



.... we usually run our "monitor system" into a larger house p.a. that has the vocals, guitars, keys mic'd.

im looking at maybe 2 12's or 2 15's. nothing too fancy.
its just that when we do play a show with bands with drummers, we sound a little weak in comparison. we need a little more "***" when our band plays.
what do i need to look for as far as power and wattage go with powered speakers?


any suggestions?
