Im looking in getting basically the cheapest pair of powered pa speakers that would give a decent sound quality in an auditorium
However, this auditorium is 16 million dollars with great acoustics, If someone stands on the stage and talks in a normal voice he/she can be heard in the back row, so i was thinking that we wouldn't need very loud speakers
There are speakers in the suditorium be we are not permitted to use them
Any suggestions or ideas are appretiated
Thank You

Not sure about your price range or musical needs.

""Best Speaker of the Year" - Boston Herald
They're here! We're talking about real speakers designed for portable audio players that deliver astonishing audiophile-quality sound and don't cost a fortune.
Audioengine 5 is a full-size speaker system in a bookshelf-sized package. Internal power amps eliminate the need to connect the Audioengine 5 to a bulky stereo receiver or power amplifier. And with built-in subwoofer ports, the Audioengine 5 adds incredible low-end bass without the need for an external subwoofer.
"Several of Stereophile's editors were excited about the compact and inexpensive Audioengine 5 amplified speakers, which were bringing forth some sweet sounds playing files directly from a laptop," reports Stephen Meijas on the Stereophile HE 2007 blog.
In the January 9, 2007 issue of the Boston Herald, Tom Rose raves, "The best speaker of the year is Audioengine 5. More than 50 new speakers were put to the test this year, but there wasn't the need for a 'listening-off' to pick the winner. These matching bookshelf speakers, the first product offered by Audioengine, blew away all rivals in terms of audio excellence."
"Ridiculously Good"
"When it comes to listening to and recording music, there are no other speakers in this price range that come close to the clarity and balance offered by Audioengine 5," marvels the Mac Observer for March 29, 2007. "Ridiculously good... a slam dunk."
"As the cornerstone of a high quality, inexpensive and unobtrusive desktop audio system the Audioengines are pretty much ideal," trumpets Audio Ideas Guide online. "Comparing them sonically with the mass-marked iPod 'dock' systems out there, many of which cost around the same amount, isn't even fair."
In the November 2006 issue of Home Theater magazine, Tom Fleischmann reports, "It's well suited to compressed music formats, not only getting good bass out of them, but a pragmatically sculpted midrange, as well. It's also revealing enough to get the best out of better signal sources, up to and including analog."
"If someone told me the Audioengine 5 were $1,500 I would have believed them!" says Enjoy the Music.
Built-in iPod Charging
Designed for optimal ease of setup and versatility, the Audioengine 5 has a built-in power port for iPod charging while listening to your music, watching movies, or playing games. Plug an Apple Universal Dock or iPod directly into the Audioengine Combo Port and you're ready to rock (or roll). The Combo Port charger is compatible with the nano and video iPod as well as all other products that charge via USB.
Airport Express Power
With an AC power jack in the rear panel, the Audioengine 5 provides the ability to stream music from your laptop directly to the speakers through Apple's Airport Express. The rear panel AC outlet is also ideal for providing power to other portable and home A/V equipment. A 2nd auxiliary mini-jack is located nearby for audio input from the Airport Express or other products. Also included are plenty of cables in a drawstring bag to connect all your gear.
Tasty Bass
Small Speakers, Big Bass. You won't hear any enhanced super-mega-hyper-monster boomy bass from these speakers. The low end from the Audioengine 5 is real bass, very near to originally-recorded music. From rap to classical to movies, you'll get tight, punchy bass with an awesome growl that will make you smile - regardless of the volume level.
Natural Mids and Dynamic Highs
The way Audioengine speakers duplicate a music soundstage is really cool. We had all these great adjectives written up to describe the midrange and highs (buzz phrases like "tonal accuracy with transparent clarity, excellent detail and harmonic correctness"), but they all just seemed overused and sort of lame. Our goal was to bring you the sound as it was originally mixed in the studio. Vocals are clearly placed and each instrument occupies its own space, making the speakers seem invisible to your ears. We feel that we've succeeded in our goal and hope you agree!
Brawn, Brains, and Beauty
Kevlar woofers for powerful bass, silk dome tweeters for smooth highs, built-in power amplifiers, truly useful connections, and a clean industrial design all allow the Audioengine 5 to integrate perfectly in your living room, bedroom, or desktop. Custom-designed and handcrafted wood cabinets with high-gloss professional piano finish make the Audioengine 5 a true work of art.
No Receiver? No Problem!
For listening to real stereo sound, Audioengine is all you need. If you want awesome speakers for your portable music player, game console, TV, or DVD player but don't want a bulky receiver/amp hogging up your space, the Audioengine 5 system does the job.
"If you're looking for the best sounding stand-alone speaker solution for your iPod, look no further: the Audioengine 5 is second to none," reports i

Surviving a non-HDMI receiver setup... please help!?
Eric S
I have recently bought a number of consumer electronics and its becoming a nightmare to put them all together;
The products are:
1. Apple MacBook - With MiniDVI output, "Combined optical digital audio output/audio line out (minijack)"
http://www.apple.com/macbook/features.ht...
2. An Xbox 360 with HDMI and their XBox-specific component + audio cable (red, white, yellow video)
3. a Wii, which is fun, but hopeless for High definition and Iâm not bothered with.
4. A Panasonic PT-AX200U Projector (720p) with 2 HDMI's in, one component in, SVideo in, computer in & serial in.
http://www.projectorcentral.com/pdf/proj...
5. Last but not least, the culprit of this mess: Onkyo HT-S990THX. A superb 7.1 HTiB sound machine with a disastrous flaw, no HDMI connectivity. In CNET's opinion:
In terms of connectivity, however, the HT-S990THX's receiver was a mixed bag. There are three A/V inputs, each of which can accept composite, S-Video, or component-video connections; a fourth composite-only A/V input is located on the front panel. The HT-S990THX also offers component video conversion, which enables any analog video input (composite, S-video or component) to be transmitted via the component video outputs. That means you need to run just one set of component cables to your TV. But the HT-S990THX has no HDMI connections or switching capabilities.
http://reviews.cnet.com/home-theater-sys...
My current proposed setup is:
1. Projector is connected via component to the receiver.
2. Wii is connected and is no problem
3. XBox has HDMI, but I cannot use it to the receiver, so its connected via its XBox-specific cable, with Component quality video, but red + white + yellow audio.
4. The MacBook becomes a problem. The only way I see it possibly connecting is:
4.1 Audio: use the Mac's "combined optical digital audio output/audio line out (minijack)" into the optical in of the receiver (which are hopefully compatible?)
4.2 For Video: No idea. The only possible solution I can think of is a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter, then a DVI to HDMI adapter, and then a 10m/33ft HDMI cable to the projector... but this hardly seems ideal... not only due to the amount of adapters and length of the HDMI cable, but also because it wouldnât be connected directly to the receiver. Can I get Component connectivity into the receiver from a MacBook?
my main question:
What would be the ideal setup for this system (preferably exploiting the 7.1 system & component/HDMI quality video)?

Thank you very much if you managed to read all the way until here. Thank you even more if you can help me!
Answer
I'm sorry to tell you, but you will not be able to exploit this 7.1 system.
Your Current Setup.
1. FINE
2. FINE
3. What I would suggest is connecting the XBox to the TV directly via HDMI, this will improve the picture quality. If the receiver has an optical port, connect the XBox to the receiver that way. If you choose this option you will have to change the audio output settings on your XBox to "digital."
If you don't have an optical port, keep the XBox audio connected as is, but you'll be sacrificing digital sound for plain stereo.
4. I don't see why you couldn't use a DVI to HDMI cable and hook directly into your TV, getting audio would be a problem as you know. Idealing you really need a reciever with HDMI pass through.
