Those are suitable for that kind of sources, second-hand they aren't
expensive, but a single old school amp/speakers combo could weight
around 40 Kg and the size could be around 100cm x 100 cm x 30cm (the
old less heavy and smaller amp/speakers combos unlikely provide good
enough sound and/or aren't loud enough). It's no fun to transport
something like this. New gear is available for around a quarter of the
weight and half of the size. I don't know how good or bad this new gear
does sound, perhaps the sound is good, but it's new and does cost 5 to
10 times as much. A power mixer and speakers is something much used, it
provides better weight distribution by 3 instead of 2 individual parts
and it's available in a weide price range. From less than a consumer JVC
BoomBlaster to no end.
