Reply to Speakers for home DJ use and small parties

Hi all,

First post so be gentle.

I am a complete speaker noob. But I am looking for a new speaker setup for say an S4. I currently use Harman Kardon soundsticks, which are good for my room but when I take them to a party or try to crank them up for a pre party they just don't cut it.

So I am in the market for some new speakers, but ones that are good enough for home use and incase I have a few people over, should be no more than 15 people. It's a medium sized room.

I don't fancy forking out for monitors as I know once a few drinks have been consumed they will eventually get blown.

I was perhaps looking at these;

Or will I be better with a small PA active speakers such as;

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
