jazzmammal, That is interesting. After using my QSC K 12's for a while I became tiered of the overkill in a small club. Carry in, set up, sound checks, do the required time, Then do the above in reverse at each gig. Let's not forget our choice of instrument/instruments bass amps heads that weigh 60+ lbs. And how much do we spend for all of this, compared to what we make it home with. Only a musician reasons like that IMHO. SO, I started over, compact and efficient as in HK Nano and Phil Jones suitcase Compact + Compact Four Cab. The BIGGGG gear is packed away and collecting dust.------Leon
