I have nothing to prove to you.+LOL..You don't pay my way. I have seen what "judgments" are made regarding the gear here gear here. Why would I take judgments made regarding content or talent seriously?

Your opinion means squat. I can assure you I earned my keep for the past 15 years of 20 years covering popular songs and selling my own on a level few will experience and have done well enough to be given a choice to use the best possible gear. My mike choice is least a wireless SM87 nothing less. I will bring my own if I have to.

I don't need to pass your judgment. I passed my tests years ago. The gig requests I get now require travel and multi days away, and pay a min of a grand. I turn down far more gigs then I take nowadays.I am over planes and condos. I do what want and right now thats working with the wife on special occasions for her clients who want what I do.

I am not going to set myself up here for your skewed judgment. You want to come to the Beach when we are playing you are welcome. I posted some of my work, like it or not. I am not afraid, I have already been judged by "critics" with a far larger audience than this, and when you add it up, millions who have seen me perform over 20 years in major venues.

You like everyone else can take or leave my opinion. At the end of the day its not even advice. Only opinion. And even around here I can see who knows their stuff and who clearly is a weekend warrior.

AS much as we else gets into it wth Diki.I respect him because He KNOWS his shyte as may a few others, Be careful who your your mentors are. Ego stroking by your buddies can be deadly in performance when faced with a real paying audience. I learned that a long time ago as well. Trust no one but yourself.

BTW Quality gear will not make a bad performance good. But make no mistake inferior gear can diminish a great performance. That goes for the stage as well as in the Studio

LOL I love those statements.....
You yourself said you judge just said you with your ears...Seems to me you are judging with your heart and emotions.

$2000 Genelec Speakers sound great for Mixing...would I take them on a gig? Uh no...

My Pro Media Klipsch 2.1 Computer speakers sound great...again they have their purpose. Live performance isn't one of them.

Sometimes you just "know." I have never heard $200 Casio but I know it would make a poor showing at a paying gig as would a Fender Starcaster, or unheard Yamaha PSR213.

I'm leaning toward order next week. I'm debating 8" vs 10"...from what you've described two 8s should be plenty for practice and monitors.

I resurrected this old thread on another forum: http://www.karaoke-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=15074&start=50

Only other place on the internet where people are talking about these that I can find

Edit: the reason I did so was that OFD was going to send one of the members there a pair of speakers to demo. Then the thread died off.
