Skytronics PA gear - any good?

[KevB]

A mate asked my opinion and I don't have any experience with Skytronics stuff. It looks good value on paper but is it cheap and nasty or decent quality?

It may well be good but I think it is DJ orientated. Only time I ever saw it was doing live sound and there was a dj after the band

I think it's fairly generic Disco equipment. They have a website -

I've no idea how good it is.

I think they are just an acoustic guitar/vocal duo so won't require anything major and an offer of a 200W power amp and matching speakers by Skytronics for £250 came up so they asked my advice. Alternative was 100W Peavey with speakers and mics/stands for £200, i thought if 100W was enough power I'd go with the peavey set up but wanted opinions about Skytronics first from anyone who's actually got/used their gear.

We have a pair of Skytronics 300w PA speakers in our praccy room - cost about £35 off Glumtree, if I remember. At that price, very cheap but still pretty nasty, about the best thing you could say about them is that sound comes out of 'em. And they're very, very light.

I had a couple of small PA speakers a few years ago - low sensitivity.
