Personally I love ElectroVoice
speakers.  Mics - cheap ones pretty much sound cheap; most decent makes
offer a budget range which will do a good job - Shure, AKG, Beyer for
instance, and if you go wireless you should go for UHF rather than cheapo
VHF, which will interact with all sorts of things and give you constant
grief.  Look at AKG for a decently-priced UHF system.  I could go on at MUCH
greater length, but I'll spare you..............

.  but by all means AVOID RADIO SHACK AT ALL COSTS.
because in the end it'll cost ya.
You know I hear people give this warning all the time but the ones who do
for the most part have never tried Radio Shack.Dave Allen the Magic Man

Actually I have used some good radio shack stuff myself but emphatically
empasize that if you are swayed in that direction don't even consider
wireless mikes--- Bad experience multiplied by ten (Before most of you were
born, I recall watching Barbara Streisand in the Boston pre-broadway
production of- - something.  I think it was the one about Fanny Brice.  In
the middle of a key number (my memory, faulty as it may be says it was
_People Who Need People) her wireless mike began picking up Police Calls.
She apparently couldn't hear it, but the Audience could and she got more and
more frustrated as the audience screamed in laughter.  If you find out what
kind of wireless mike she was using, don't get that either!)
