I'm snake bit now. I'm not buying anything till I can see it, touch it, hear it, ,etc.
Store just don't carry the stuff we are interested in. No GW8, Roland Amps, whatever. Two powered Podiums run off the stereo outs of my Crate KX220 sounds intriguing but will 8" speakers handle the bottom end. Had a pair of unpowered 8" in my studio with my Yamaha mixer and they sounded great f but no real bottom for the arranger.
Now if I could only get together with FRAN and demo his revolving circus of new stuff I'd be a happy guy.
