Sounds fantastic, quick easy setup, easy to transport, looks like a Christmas Tree for drag racers, easily handles audiences to 125. Cheers, Gary ------------------ Travlin' Easy

Looks terrific, Gary...sorta rugged and purposeful.
Whereabouts would you set it up in relation to the keyboard...behind, off to the side, or somewhere else?
Nice work, buddy.

John, The center speaker was purchased from Radio Shack a few years ago by a good friend. He never used it and gave it to me. He said it sold for less than $30 at the time and it has a pair of 5-inch speakers in the housing and weighs about 6 pounds. The four Logitech satellite speakers are held in place with a pair of #10 panhead wood screws that were inserted through the side of each speaker housing from the inside. All the wires exit the base of the speaker enclosures and connected to the sub via RCA plugs that are labled. I hope to change this to a single, multiple-pin connection in the next week or two, which will reduce the setup time to less than a minute. The tower sits atop the sub and even at a volume level of Boost 6 they do not move at all. Boost 6 will blow the doors off most restaurants and bars. The system can be positioned either to the side of the keyboard, or even a bit behind, and using the headset mic, or the Samson Q7 there is no feedback. And, I don't think it will have to raised any higher than it is to reach a fair distance in most venues, and the distribution of sound seems to be fair good. I'm going to try it out at a relatively large fire hall and an American Legion next week to see how well it performs under those conditions. I'll update the post at that time with my findings. The one thing I failed to mention on the orriginal post is this 550-watt, 1,000-watt peak sound system is currently selling for $199 at some Internet stores. And, IMO, it sounds a lot better than a pair of cubes, and the cost is far less. Cheers, Gary ------------------ Travlin' Easy

John, I still have a pair of 3000s and despite the fact they are used almost daily they're in excellent condition. I have tried lots of other boards, but for now at least, I'll stick with the 3000s. Cheers, Gary ------------------ Travlin' Easy
