Mo,

The stands are even older than my speakers...they are single braced X-type, and I modified them to open just enough to set the speaker on...they have little rubber thingys to prevent slippage.

I sit when I play, and each speaker is at ear height...just worked out that way, and I have them on either side and just behind me, turned in towards me at a slight angle...I don't use a mic so the positioning is no problem.

The MS60s are used in a lot of theatres for in house stage monitors, and they have a great bass, even off the floor...Yamaha's AST(Active Servo Technology) does a fine job...the bass is tight but still full enough for my needs.

Since I mostly do background and dinner music, I don't want volume as much as I want quality.

The Roland's seem cool, but I've already got a compact system...if I need more, I rent something bigger.

Ian

PS...sorry guys, I don't have a camera.
