Sorry - blame the transatlantic time difference!  Sounds like a decent
enough system.  I would have said 250 watts was in the right ballpark (to
borrow a phrase); our small rig with the band (which I also use with
puppets, as it all fits neatly in the back of a short wheelbase Nissan
Terrano if I'm not taking the trailer) is 650 watts (C-Audio power amp,
Soundcraft mixer & EV S200 speakers), with another 400 available for
foldback, and that deals with over 90% of gigs; on the odd occasions when we
need a bit more there's the bits to turn it into a 2.5K rig sitting in the
garage.....  Remember - you can always turn it down if you don't need it,
but you can't turn it up if you ain't got it!

Regards
Graham

Well... you would ask before my second cup of coffee...

Puppet Productions out of Texas carries them at a VERY reasonable price.
Ours is the 250 watt system; there is also a 125 watt system for less, but
we felt the 250 was a better value.

It comes with two mics, has 4 mic plug ins and two stereo inputs (like Heidi
mentioned), has reverb along with the usual adjustments, a really nice MC
feature that cuts the lead mic in over background music without having to
cut the music or try to balance the sound.  The speakers attach to the main
unit for hauling, there's a nice storage compartment on the back of the main
unit for all of the cords and mics and it weighs 53 lbs.  There's a heavy
duty cover included and a carrying handle on top.  When it's all put
together for traveling, there are NO exposed knobs, dials or speaker covers.
Everything is safely tucked away on the inside.  That's one big plus for us.

Oh, and the speakers can be put up on speaker stands (there are holes in the
bottom of each one for this).  Check the unit out at
www.puppetproductions.com .  They put the systems on sale at least twice
each year for under $700.
