I would go with the Peavey. I have a pair of the PR 15s that I use on occasion. VERY lightweight. As I recall, the prices on the Peavey and Behringer are about the same. As far as a mixer amp, try the Yamaha. It would work well with the speakers, although 12s with no sub won't give you much bass. Behringer also makes a couple of mixer amps like you're describing, if you're willing to take the risk (below average reliability). |

Since Peavey is the top of the low class range, and Behringer is mid of the low class range, I would go for ???? |

Not so, completely depends on the model & EVERY manu has their low quality models. The PR just happens to be Peaveys. I would still opt for those over a Behringer equivalent anyday. |

I had used the Peavey PR12 - lighweight and a great speaker for small to medium rooms. As with any 12" they could use a little bass punch but all in all a great value recently - 4 weeks ago I sold the Peavey and did buy the Behringer B212 What I can tell you is this - I like the LOOK of the Behringer Better, they are smaller and actually LIGHTER than the Peaveys . They are STACKABLE if you need that and the most important factor is they SOUND crisper and cleaner than the Peaveys all in all I would say the Behringer is a slightly better buy than the Peavey. ( in this case) BUT the Peaveys are GREAT speakers too. Yamaha and Peavey make som great powered mixer amps -- I also went the route of a Behringer and as far as overall value ..A much better unit. Yamaha and Peaveys are GREAT ...But I found I could save a lot if money with Behringer without any loss of features of quality |

It actually supplies the rated power (500 watts per side @ 4ohms, 325 @ 8 Ohms). I've always been skeptical of Behringers power claims, I think they might be using peak instead of continuous. Plus the Yamaha build quality is far superior in my opinion. I own the Yamaha, but i have used the Behringer boards and they just aren't in the same league with each other. |

Buy quality. I always suggest a seperate amp and mixer vs a combo unit. Go with a mackie or yamaha mixer and a qsc or crwom amp. My pick would be a Yamaha MG 16/4 - $230 and a QSC GLX5 - $400 |

I am not sure what a "flat bed mixer amp" is, but I am guessing it is like my PMH3000. It drives the PR-10 / PR-Sub combo I have, with 400W into 4 ohms and 225W into 8 ohms. (RMS, not peak.) That is enough to drive the PR-12 in a small-medium size room. I use that with the PR-10s or my TP112s for small parties or gigs. |

I would assume by 'flat bed' he means a desktop model as opposed to a box style. |
