Re: speakers for peavey pvi8b plus
Depends on what you want to do with your system. There are several choices that would technically "work", as in, they will make sound at a decent volume when connected to that mixer head. Will this be a one-and-done system, no plans for ever expanding, used only for small setups like playing in a pub? Or do you plan to grow - add subs, monitor speakers or in-ear systems, bigger mixer, other?
Will you be setting up by yourself or do you have help lifting speakers possibly up on tripod stands?
Power-wise, the PV series or PVX series would match best. The SP 2 would be a more capable speaker for larger audiences, but a bit under-powered. It would give you room to grow though, such as a larger amp for a pair of SP 2 speakers then use the mixer's built-in amp to drive monitor(s). Adding subs would also make the top speakers go a lot further by moving a good portion of power requirements out of the tops and directed to the subs, whether an active sub or a passive sub with external amplifier.
