You can read up on why the Mackie SRM450 powered speakers are a
comprehensive solution at their website.
http://www.mackie.com/products/srm450/ The bottom line is they sound great
at a wide range of volumes, they are versatile, chainable, integrated,
reliable and portable. A mixer and a subwoofer can shape any tonal
deficiencies for a wide range of instruments. If you compare apples to
apples, I don't agree that components are a cheaper alternative. I'm
surprised they can deliver so much value for the money. If you're not going
to gig with a tube Leslie, Mackie is the way to go, IMHO.
