I am just surprised that anyone can take such an entrenched position without even hearing the speakers. I mean that makes no sense......I mean a brand name is simply that...a brand name...Does the brand name tell you that what your ears are hearing is quality ??? Does the brand name tell you that after 5 years a product will still with stand on the road use (ask anyone that had a Korg triton extreme about how sturdy the casing is and thats a pro keyboard).
At least be willing to accept that the principal that you get what you pay for is simply a principal and not a rule....
