We in my band have started to buy all those things ´cause gigs are coming more and more and all clubs dosen´t have PA system and stuff like that. But we got still some stuff to buy like monitors and mixer board. It´s damn expensive but most of stuff we buyed are already used but who cares. They still sound as good as new ones except that they are way cheaper.

We don´t have any Dream Theater sound of course but it´s pretty nice. As long as it´s pretty clear has limited feedbacks it´s ok.
