I'm looking for specific advice on a choice between two different
speakers.  These speakers are to be used for a portable dance/disco
system in the 160 Watts RMS per channel category.  I had been
considering Klipsch LaScalas previously, but they seem to be the
"Cadillac" version at $1500 for the pair.  Both of the speakers I
am currently considering are in the ~$950 per pair range.

The first is the Pevey (sp?) Project Five sound reinforcement
speaker.  They seem well suited for the aplication (heavy duty 
construction, good components, etc.) but have a limited frequency
response (60hz-16Khz).  Also, they are not horn-loaded.

The other is a speaker from TOA (anybody ever heard of these guys?).
They seem to be the same heavy duty construction, have an extended 
frequency range (30hz-20Khz), and are in the same price range.

Please share any knowledge of the two manufacturers and their 
reputations (especially TOA- I'm fairly familiar with Pevey).
Also, any specific feedback on these speakers?

Thanks in advance for your halp.

Sincerely,

Harold Noyes
