Our band has out grown our current 600w x 600w PA. We are increasingly gigging medium sized venues and our current PA just aint cutting it. We are 5 piece band, 2 guitars, vocals, backing vocals and drums mic'ed. What is considered a decent set up/best way to go. At the moment, for ease of use we use (none of us have much of a clue with PA's) a powered mixer with powered monitors for stage mix. We are thinking 1.5Kw as a minimum? What are others using on here? Any advice would be very welcome as Im bamboozled by all the different options etc. Would be looking for a complete rig.

Don't be too hung up on watts, it's more SPL that's meanful
Whats SPL @Danny?
We have a lot of HK Linear Pro PA speakers at 2020 and even though these boxs are only rated at 500 watts rms they will produce much higher SPL than something like a 500 watt Peavey box.
You said your using a powered mixer .... most powered mixers have a line level left and right out to feed a slave amp ... you can go from there to the Mackies .... if unsure find out the make and model of your powered mixer and I'll check the manual
