   The Art of photography includes capturing pictures when they are just right.   
   Anyone can snap a picture but actually taking just the right one   
   consistently is an Art.

   Obviously, the tiny monitors are intended to be used in the near field, and   
   the closer the better - that's why they can be mounted to a mic stand, to   
   get in close...sort of like a go-between for IEMs and huge floor wedges.

   I see it as Stupid old dogs that learned the WRONG way and Need to learn it   
   the RIGHT way this time!

   Same here - I'll only play with Mature persons!

   Might as well, nothing to lose.

   ONLY with an XR18! If I'm going to endure IEMs stuck into my ears, the  very   
   least I deserve is to be able to adjust them myself rather than relying on   
   some Incompetent IDIOT messing around with the mixer...and always getting it   
   WRONG!!!   
   And that's another problem at my church.   
      
   > who's upset about what .....   
      
   Whatever it was that happened that needs to be talked through.   
      
   > band girl has the same reaction.  hates the idea of something in her ears.   
      
   My ears need air circulation and sticking something into them prevents   
   that - even headphones over much greater time of course, still cause   
   problems in that area.   
      
   > that's what they use.   
      
   They'd have to because it takes lots of cabs to handle all that   
   power...hearing Destroying power.   
      
   > you look just as you say, unhappy >>>>>>...  ha.   
      
      
   Jim   
      
   Yes, the bad vibe is obvious...but when I'm playing and there's an Orgasmic   
   Love Vibe, I just Glow...and that's what it's all about ;)
