I mean better bass would be great as we play a lot of soul and Motown stuff and if we not putting the kit through the PA be good to have bass you can feel
Fane do a full range 15 inch, the Fane 15-300TC.
Four of these could be enough and no messing with crossovers.

Hi mate. We don't have the budget Currently for four speakers.. we just need two tops that can get us by until we can add subs
There is the rub, if you try to get that much bass from a 15+1 speaker you lose all vocal/mid sound quality, to do this without subs you need 3-way boxes or a highend 2-way with a 2" exit compressin driver. And "Bass you can feel" is only going to happen up close to the speakers, it takes an incredible amount of power and air displacement to produce that all through a hotel ballroom.
As I suggested earlier: get your ballroom Bass SPL straight from the backline, so you do NOT task the PA with it.
Amplify only voices, some keyboard and little else.
Mind you, even if you do NOT mike up drums or the backline you will STILL be getting it into the mix, because voice mikes are on stage.
Do singers hear drums/bass/guitar?
Of course they do!!!!
Vocal microphones 15 cm away will too!!!!
And feed them into the mixer through the backdoor 🙂

Thinking about touring in the late 1960s early 1970s. I think we got a pretty good sound doing just that. I had a crappy ARB PA, but the real heroes were the guys with a Vocal Master. I had 8 channels, the Vocal Master only had 6. But the VM had reverb!!! And feedback killer switches!!! I had four vocal mics - SM57, plus a mic on the Leslie, and I had a small Shure M68 mic mixer in channel 8 for a drum mix. (I could only dream of a Vocal Master.)

this is why having per channel parametric EQ's found on digital mixers are useful. You high pass all your inputs appropriatly to avoid a load of midbass 'mud' in your sound.
Ahem, just a heads up the *HR series came out not long ago, So that's CHR for passive tops and DHR for active. Reasonably good ply cabinet and some minor tweaks. Think something's trickling down from the higher up models.
There's some kit packages of the various types for a reasonable sum from gear4music including a pair of speakers and mounts.
Considering getting a pair.
