Music Banter - View Single Post - What kind of sound setup should I get for my first gig?

My bandmate just invested in a keyboard amplifier that we've been told will serve our purpose. Plus, he needs a good amp. I've also been informed that a friend's relative has some stuff we can borrow.

I am definitely looking to buy in the future, and these recommendations have helped look at what is available. As far as power goes, is it a better bet to get passive speakers and an active mixer, or active speakers and a passive mixer? I've also heard talk of amp racks and passive stuff for the rest. Any of you have insight or experience with these?
