I have 2 QSC 10.2 and a k sub i only do small places social clubs up to 150
i want to sell what i have just because of lugging the k sub about.
Replace with either 12 or 15 active that will handle decent bass on their own.
Must be good sound quality for disco's and singing.
What do you suggest say up to £2000 new or second hand.

You won’t replace the output of a sub with any full range speaker on a stand, no matter what budget or type. Simply putting a speaker on the floor gains you around 6dB of bass ( a speaker against a boundary such as the floor is operating in half space, hence it’s energy is directed into that space only) whereas a speaker on a stand away from a boundary is operating in whole space

So, don’t expect the same quantity of bass from anything stand mounted if you are loosing the sub

You'll find it a lot harder stand mounting a decent pair of 15'' self powered than you will with what you have. There are super-light weight 15's around, but I doubt they'll sound as good as what you already have.

Not much to discuss there. Loud as hell, and sounds good while doing it. 
They will not give you bass like a sub, but it does make a sweet bass for a box on a stick. In my opinion, one of the best in it's price range by far.
