Drum amplification advice

Hey everyone, I am looking to buy a speaker that can help me play with my band in a small living room. I am aware that drum amps like the Roland PM100 and the Strike Amp 12 are good, but I am considering buying a used active PA speaker instead, as they are more readily available in the local market. My question is, will any active PA speaker of good quality do well? What are the things I should look out for? Specifically, I am considering the Mackie Thump 15A. Is this a good option?
