Quest to achieve live sound

I have often found myself at concerts where JBLs are used for sound. Yet I have spent a whole lot of money over the years investing in high end when perhaps a set of Peevey's or similar PA speakers would have been enough to get me closer to the holy grail. Any comments or similar feelings of other members?

Get a nice pair of JBL Hartsfields (even the reproduction with JBL pro drivers) and a competent amplifier and you'll be pretty close. Tannoy Churchills would be my second choice recommendation.

Unamplified or amplified?

Oh, the hand wringing! Oh, the Audiophilia Nervosa!

Most of the musicians I know have lost their hearing because of those live sounds. I believe in protecting my hearing, so I can continue to enjoy music to a ripe old age.
