• I would go for a mixer as DFP says, and for a power amp something old and heavy by Yamaha or Crown, designed for pro-audio rather than hi-fi. A good sign is if its got 19" rack mount flanges in the sides rather than free standing.

    PS: there are different ways of measuring wattage. An easy way for manufacturers to big up their stuff is to write peak wattage (looks more impressive than RMS), with no reference to distortion levels. Any old amp can deliver 400W transient, but the waveform will look like a siesmometer and sound like hell. My Beard valve amp can deliver 100W RMS with less than 1% distortion, which if you are brave enough literally moves air in the room and can make my patio doors flex from a distance of 6 metres.
