Sorry for all the caps :)
Looking between B52s, Mackie, and (what I have always used JBL)
Need to be powered and spend no more than say, 1500. I have an 18" JBL powered sub already in the mix of things if that helps.... TIA!

If you liked the JBL's, why not return to them? I use Mackie's, because I got a great deal on three of them, $500.00 apiece at the DJ convention. The other two I got off of eBay, at some great price with bags and stands. I believe there's not that much difference between the two, if you know what you are doing. If I had to do it again, and money was no object, I would go with the QSC's, or the RCF's. Or you could rent or borrow for tonight, and wait and do some more research, before you buy. I make it a habit not to buy anything after the first of the year. I wait til the DJ convention in AC to buy, because you can usually get a great deal, and see all the new shit.

Well, I get my stuff at cost at GC, but you're right... going to wait till tomorrow.... check out the speakers, put them through a battery of tests etc.
Opinions still welcome though!

MSRP:$929.99

Hey, I got a floor model of the B52's Active Matrix-2000 from GC for about $1200. It is a nice setup. I am a mobile DJ. It has one 18" sub for bass and 2 12" two ways and 2 horn. What I really like about them is I can plug in straight from my DJ Herc Console. It is pushing 1200 Watts. Talk to the people at GC and see if you can get a good deal. I walked out of GC with the Speakers, Stands, all the cables I needed to hook them up, and a set of Pioneer DJ headphones for about $1500.
