What would a reasonable price be for a good, but not top of the line (but not rinky-dink either), equipment set up be? Would $750.00 buy a reasonable setup?

I recommend two speaker cabinets that have a 15" woofer and a horn. A 12" woofer and a horn configuration will do a good job. The more power the louder the system will be. If you use speakers rated at 100 watts make sure the amp output is no higher than 100 watts. I ran a pro DJ system for small clubs and parties with speakers rated at 300 watts and an amp rated at 150 watts, always loud enough and never blew a speaker.
MAKE SURE THE SPEAKER RATING IS HIGHER THAN THE AMP RATING.
There are lots of good power amps available with a mixer built-in to the unit. Get one that comes with a limiter.
You will also need microphones, I recommend Sure SM58's.
Most music stores these days will have what you need. Shop a few, find the gear that you want to buy then compare their price with the online catalog companies like Musicians Friend. Be sure to include the shipping cost. Buy professional gear.
I hope this helps!
