NOVISTAR POWERWAVE SPEAKER

corentin.51 -  
Hello everyone
I would like to buy two Novistare Powerwave speakers, but as a beginner, I am not sure if they will hold up for a party of 70 people. Can you help me?
And which amplifier should I choose with them?

P.S.: I want to start with this because my budget is a maximum of 300 euros.

Thank you for your help.

    Hello,

    You won't be able to energize a crowd with this kind of speakers.

    Your budget is so tight that it only allows you to buy good new/used equipment, but you'll need to add an extra 40~50€ for the cables.

    Here's an amp:
    http://www.leboncoin.fr/instruments_de_musique/759462744.htm?ca=8_s
    2x130Wrms@8ohms.

    And a pair of speakers: (sold individually, you need 2 for stereo)
    http://www.planetsono.com/sonorisation/enceintes-passives/enceinte-passive-wharfedale-kinetic-12-p-13814.html
    There's no cheaper option with reasonable quality.
    2x200Wrms 125dB spl max @ 1m / 105dB spl max @ 10m.

    Then you need speakon cable 1 per speaker, and a jack cable
    To connect a computer to the sound amp:

    To connect the amp to the speakers: (you need 2 cables)

      Thank you, but is there no risk of the speakers burning out if I send sound?

      And for the amplifier, I have one with 65 Wrms and the speakers are about 250 Wrms, can I use it or are there risks?

      @corentin.51What is the brand and model of the amplifier you have?

      It's an old Sony model, and sorry for the watts, it outputs 110
      And I can set it to 8 or 16 ohms

      And for those speakers, is there a risk they might burn out, or where can I buy some? ( https://www.electrodepot.fr )

      @corentin.51Your amplifier must be a home theater or hi-fi system not made to be overloaded or run at full power for more than 2 hours without burning out.

      It's not the speakers but the Sony amp that will burn out.

      I advised you on sound equipment; it's up to you to decide if you want to buy cheap stuff; that's your problem.

      Ah ok, so it's better for me to buy a new amplifier

      But on the other hand, if there is no risk of damaging them, I can buy the speakers because since my budget isn't huge, it will be better, and when I have hosted several parties, I can buy better quality ones.
