I would not forget about the Yamaha DXR series of speakers. 2 DXR115 and 2 DXR118 for about 800 each are one helluva system. I was looking at getting some K12's with KW181's and the Yamahas sounded better in my opinion, and the DXR115's are a lot better on their own then the k12's. The DXR115's can crank really hard. These are what I am saving my pennies for. They sound great. You could even have 4 DXR115's within your budget.

RCF makes some great speakers too, but I do not have a whole lot of experience with them. But for me it would be between the Yamaha's or RCF line of speakers.

Is the BOSE L1 II any good?

Is the BOSE L1 II any good?

For receptions that don't involve a ton of heavy dance or hip hop, yes, very much so. People love the way they look as well. Although I would personally bring two of them, mostly because I hate it when setups look off-center.

The L1 is also about the most convenient setup ever for corporate events or background music.

I've used active Mackies tops and subs, they were awesome... could have used a little more low end, but acoustics in venues is also a big part. My main setup I used for weddings were some Harbingers tops and 18" sub cabs powered by QSC GX5 amps(1 for each top/sub in crossover mode), and I was told to turn it down a lot, TONS of bass and very clear highs... setup ran about $2000-2400 total cords included (Neutriks)

I'd choose self powered cabs over an amp for something like that easily. They are I think in many cases much better for sound quality I believe.

Only if you're comparing bottom feeder gear or dealing with someone who completely doesn't know what their doing & in that case they stand just as good a chance of goofing up the sound of even a powered system.
