John,

Don't you have a local music store that would let you try different speakers before you decide? I know I have one within driving distance that just tells me to load up what I want, test drive it for a week or two and then make my decision. This way I get to try the equipment at home, if I like what I hear at home I take it on a job. If I still like it we start discussing price, and more than not we come to agreement on price. With this said and as much as I like to get the best deal I can it is very nice to be able to look someone eye to eye when purchasing musicial equipment or anything else for that matter . . . just my thoughts.

Good Luck,
