Perry,

I would suggest a 12" 2 way powered speaker for practice, 3 way 15"
for gigging.  I have a 15" but for weekly practice I would like
something smaller and lighter.  My 15" is a bi-amped 2 way and I would
say lacks a little mid range, although top & bottom end are good -
hence my suggestion of a three way.  For gigging, get as much power as
you can for the bass.  It doesn't seem to matter how much power you
have, you can still clip the bass amp if you like some rock "punch".

Keith.
