Help with Powered Speakers

I'm looking for some help buying a pair of powered speakers. I need a pair that's powerful enough to blow a house party out of the water (a room the size of an average basement). How many watts is necessary in this scenario?

Can anyone of you guys recommend a specific pair that fits the description for about $1,000-$1,500?

Also, where's the best place to buy powered speakers in Toronto?

Thanks for your help guys!

I have a pair of these and use them on a weekly basis: http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.co...inet?sku=601229

They have good low ends so you don't really need a sub. They are plenty loud for the environment you described.

I don't know if this is the best place to buy speakers... but Steve's on Queen St. has a good selection of speakers. Wouldn't hurt to go down there and talk to a salesperson, they can probably help you find what you're looking for.

if your looking for something just for parties...this is of course not assuming you are using them as monitors...take a look at the b-52 matrix systems. heres the mid range one

for the money, you get a lot of boom. not necessarily the best sounding thing...but it'll get parties done no problem.

Yea for sure, they are powerful monitors, and have a very crisp sound, not to mention their look will scare any other monitor away haha
