What types of speakers are used in electronic music concerts/raves?

I'm looking to buy a soundsystem to throw parties and I am confused as some speakers say they are PA, loudspeakers, or DJ systems. Does PA system mean only for voice amplification or can I use it to play electronic music from turntables and a mixer? What about loudspeakers?

What type of speakers should I get for a crowd of 100 people? I'm looking to spend around 760 total and I already have 2 25 foot XLR cables. I don't have an amplifier.

big ones.

just buy what you can afford, because at that price point it won't matter.

not 750...760

at that price, one of those packaged powered yorkville / fenderpassport styled combos. 2 mid/highs and a sub.

Don't get anything that is not self powered. These ones tend to be idiot proof. messing with amps is just not worth the hassle given the budget.

I like the sound of bookshelf speakers. With a front bassport, like my sony's. With a subwoofer they wouldn't need any improving for my ears. I have cheap dj monitors, tried pa speakers and all sorts of different sizes, even a really expensive home theater. I like 5.25" speakers I think it is, and I've been replacing tweeters with better $2.49 ones at parts express, these don't sound bad at all. still blowing out one occasionally tho, I don't mind replacing.

I would get like 8 pairs of bookshelf speakers, or build them with blueprints you find. Run them in 4ohm's so you only need 4 stereo amps and you can get 4 subwoofers. get some decent amps with a sub out, well I'm not sure about that, might wanna get home receivers for easy connection of subs, or get some subs that have a crossover and powered input/outputs to your speakers, so you can adjust the crossover on each one not leting the speakers play below 50-70hrz.

thats my 2c

also these t-class car amps are great. I would believe the hype about them, they cut out if it gets too loud when running 4 speakers. it also seems to me you get about 1 watt per dollar no matter what the rating says, unless you use less ohms and double your wattage .

with a 700$ budget i would buy autoamplified speakers x2 to avoid headaches, is the worst solution but 700$ is a rather low budget as an amplifier will be 200$ and a 600W speaker can be around 500$ alone so... i'd not run a party with less than 1,000W if you test it at home it looks like sound is amazing and loud but a hundred of people are incredibly noisy...
