Well I went and did it........

The pots and switches cleaned up pretty well on the old receiver, so I decided to keep that and the KLH and Bose speakers for playback, then I ran across what I hope turns out to be a decent deal.

Like I said, budget concerns force me to take advantage of deals when they come along. After reading reviews on things, this is what I ordered today for basic mixing / recording etc.

The fostex monitors are minimal, but the reviews are pretty good in general, the MXL 990 is a decent budget mic, I use one already, and could use a second for the rare duet, haven't used the 991 before, so I'll see how that works out. Didn't really need more headphones, but they are basic senheisers, so how bad can they be for a singer to hear themselves. The mic stands I have one of these already, and they serve the purpose in a studio, they would hold up for a lot of gigging, but what the heck for the price they work fine.

Anyway, I got the whole deal as shown plus a two year unconditional warranty on the mics and monitors, and a shockmount for the mxl990, with free shipping for $283.00.

I guess it doesn't do the job I can always return it.
