   Sort of impromptu ;)

   I'm also referring to the tiny powered monitors...which would probably   
   resist being fried due to their having their own power amp built in...that's   
   the kind I'm interested in, for that reason.

   Sounds like the 'cost' of retrieving them would be more than they're worth   
   ) Doesn't sound like a very good situation.   
      
   But I have my own policy regarding turning up. If Idiots get too loud, I'll   
   turn up Only a Limited amount, and then Only to just barely hear myself -   
   I've become used, Tragically, to playing at the very threshold of   
   perception. It's neither easy to do nor fun, merely an Unnecessary Challenge   
   i.e. dealing with IDIOTS. But beyond that, I'll NOT turn up ANY louder for   
   ANY reason - my equipment, and that most definitely includes my hearing, is   
   worth infinitely more than ANY Idiot ANY Day and I REFUSE to Lose ANY of it   
   over STUPIDITY!!!

   I've only seen that done once, and it was at a church. On the other hand, if   
   their drummer had the skills that my Soulmate has, the plastic drummer cage   
   wouldn't be necessary at all. Maybe the amps should be in cages too ;)

   If it already happened, what's to talk through? ;)

   I think I got the medium ones...I seriously doubt size would make any   
   difference to someone who experiences an ordeal for having anything stuck   
   into their ears like I do. ;)

   If the venue is something like Chicago's McCormick Place, perhaps, but 5 kW   
   of audio would be deadly to hearing and it would take a LOT of main pa cabs   
   to handle that.

   Got it...and now you can see me looking my Worst from the picture I sent   
   you.
