Solo acoustic musician needs new PA for corporate/wedding gigs

I have a budget of about $1000-1500, I’d like to stay close to $1k if possible. I perform acoustic guitar and sing without backing tracks, and would like to know about options for speakers to amplify my setup. Usually performing for about 75-125 people and in rooms varying in size from banquet halls to small dining areas. Mainly needing decent sound dispersion for larger areas - not sure if I need multiple speakers or if one speaker + my amp can do the job - they have been fine so far but I know it’s not ideal. I currently use a shitty alto powered 10” speaker to amplify my fishman loudbox artist guitar amp. I know it’s bad, I need some options for a better speaker setup. My amp has a DI out and I just send an xlr out to whatever sound system I need.

I have a few considerations -

  1. Sound quality - I’m coming from bottom end alto speaker and it’s gotten me a ton of gigs.. so I want to upgrade and make it sound as good as possible but also don’t stress too much about top of the line because this little speaker has gotten me throughyears of gigging already. (my amp and guitar setup sound phenomenal, all of the eq is done there.)
  2. Control and convenience - I like the idea of controlling volume and some eq from my phone across a corporate/wedding space so I don’t have to get up to mess with things.

Honestly don’t know what I’m missing, so if there are other things you recommend considering I’d love to hear them.

Free kit with ce tactical was a questionable choice

it’s Friday night during free week and they’re trying to get new players into the game, the free kit currently has the worst gun in the game. I love marathon and I want new players to not get stomped and have a decent intro to it. Not even the punch? Or br33 or something? My friends are bad at shooters and getting wrecked by bots in the pve mode with no shield and the pistol. I know that’s not going to make or break sales but I’m sure it’s not encouraging casual players if they’re getting destroyed by bots. I’m just venting and sad that sales suck and I want this game to succeed, probably just yelling into the void but I figure someone might relate

Edit: I think some stinkers missing my point. I agree, the CE tac is a decent gun, it can slap headshots, it can wreck bots. They buffed it. I understand. I have no issues playing with it, I love playing zero to hero free kits, it’s like my favorite way to play. Will it rotate? yes. Can it slap? Yes. Does it conserve ammo? Yes. Is the worst gun? Probably not. Am I just bitching and whining? Probably and that’s not my intent- I don’t want to stir up negativity, I love marathon and want other people to love it so it survives. Was it a crazy choice by bungie for the arguably most impactful night of the free week to have the arguably hardest gun to use in the free kit that is forced on you in the pve mode that’s intended to intro new players to the game? I think so. Can we have reasonable discussion and critique the game while still loving it and not being dicks about it? I hope so. Keep running yall i assumed no one would care or see this and a simple nah I disagree or I agree would suffice.
