To the remark made about must be stupid . No No one thinks you are Stupid. = You were smart enough to join a group like this=C2=A0with experienced playe= rs and ask questions. and you got their answers. =C2=A0PErhaps stupid might be getting the cheap speakers after experienced = people suggested other wise , but It would still take more than that for so= meone to call you stupid . Just inexperinced at these matters .=20 =C2=A0Remember we know the answers to some of these questions because a num= ber of us have already done it the other way . =C2=A0I suggest=C2=A0 looking into the JBLS=20 =C2=A0Good luck =C2=A0Michael =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 ________________________________ From: Steve Molk <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, January 10, 2010 8:46:10 AM Subject: Re: [Bass Place] bxr 100 =C2=A0=20 Got to agree about the harshness of the piezos, The are awfully screachie, = but I have seen some of the younger players go for that kind of a sound.
