I use this speaker for vocals when i'm practicing with my band, so i can tell you that if you get it for a band practice, this boy can get really really loud ( way more than you would need). That being said, i strongly believe that, in order to preserve the quality of the speaker, you shouldn't use it on 10 everytime. So, with that in mind, getting a more powerful PA was a great decision. Really well made, both in terms of sound and build quality. Overall it's a great product!
