Equipment Advice please - good home setup

[keno54]

I appreciate the input. I have no musical background and no knowledge of this equipment, so it is pretty confusing at this point. However, I am learning and will make a decision shortly.

I am leaning toward the Phonics PA system. Appears to have plenty of power and volume. Some reviews I have read seem to say it is weak on bass, but those comments come mostly from musicians who may be used to a lot beefier system for trying to play a bass through it.

Do you guys think that the Phonics PA system would have sufficient bass for a home karaoke setup? Again , I'm not a professional, and I wonder how many people will really be able to notice that the bass is not booming.

For $400.00, the price seems unbeatable. Anyone have experience with that system?

Thanks again.

I've had no experience with Phonics gear.

Two different friends of mine who entertained around here used a compact Fender system that did a good job. I've always had good service from Fender gear.

I Hope This Helps!

For home use, I doubt you are going to find anything better for the price. And if you feel the bass is lacking, you can always add a powered subwoofer later on. The reviews i've been seeing on 740D/SEM15 package have been surprisingly favorable. I have talked with owners of this package as well & they are very pleased. Again, they did buy better mics & speakers cords but other than that.

Thanks- I think I will do the Phonics system and be done with the decisions. I appreciate the help.
