The vocals sounded great when I tested the system in a 1,000 square foot room, and the level was excellent. There's a lot more coming out of those little speakers than I would have ever thought.

Dan, If the guitar player cranks up his 500 watt amp, he's gonna drown you out is he's one of those folks that things lound compensates for lack of tallent. Those that play in a balanced mode with the rest of the band should not produce a problem. As for using them as a monitor, I imagine they'll work just fine, but I haven't tried that yet. Because I'm playing a PSR-2000, I have the keyboard's speakers pointing directly at me, therefore, I don't need a monitor. In fact, I just gave one away a few months ago, a 12-inch Yamaha wedge that sells for about $150.

Glen, Buy.Com had the best deal anywhere. I looked at them locally in some of the so-called discount stores and they were selling for $139 for the outfit and no rebate.

Just woke up from last night's gig, five hours at the local Blood & Guts Saloon (American Legion). Had a good night, about 40 people who came out despite torrential rains and high winds.

when I finish building the custom shelf for the speakers, I post some photos.

Cheers,

Gary
