The PA Systems available today are a far cry from what was available when the hippies roamed the earth - somewhere back in the '60's. In the late sixties our band used two metal, vertical columns that looked like heaters. Whenever a band member brought a guest to rehearsal, they invariably backed up to our PA speakers expecting to warm themselves! What a hoot.
Today's speakers, for one thing, don't look like heaters; they look like speakers, and Portable PA systems start at a very affordable $549 for the Yamaha StagePas 300. If your budget is bigger, you can get the Fender Passport PD-250 for $699.95, or the Yamaha StagePas 500 for $999.00. All it takes is money, right?
