   Take off all the gold necklaces affecting your brain operation   
   and you MAY realize that an amplifier (etc) for stage use is NOT   
   quite the same as a hi-fi amplifier in the house.   
      
   My ProAc Tablettes II cost well under a grand when I bought them   
   (the new ones are MUCH too big and too expensive) and they were   
   considered one of the 2-3 best speakers of that size /ever/   
   built. I would have bought the equivalent minitowers - just an   
   extra woofer - because they were so beautiful (IMO /the/ best   
   geometrical proportions of any speaker ever made), but they were   
   a little too expensive.   
      
   I am not into big sound (unless I /am/ on stage, but those days   
   are gone, pretty much).

   Any mental activity is easy if it need not be subjected to
