Sometimes you read a thread and it gets you thinking.....

Macca and Marco's latest visit to Cooky did this with me. I reckon lots of us would like to try something with a massive sound. Trouble is, that usually means 12" or larger drivers and big cabinets. These don't usually come cheap.

I was therefore wondering if there are any affordable suggestions for dipping your toe in the waters of the sort of scale you can get with big JBL or Tannoys without spending thousands. Even better if the speaker doesn't need 1kw of power

Or am I just expecting the impossible?
