Hi folks, It's been awhile since I've directed a question to the forum, but I need some feedback. The subject; monitors. I know there are some past threads that go into great detail, and if you're burned out with this, then let it work its way out of the stack. I have been having a terrible time hearing myself at gigs...the main reason is, I can never adjust the mains to criss cross to where I end up sitting for the performance. I either need a monitor (yamaha, EV, fender, about $150-200) or do the in-ear thing. I bought radio shack ear buds that i can clip behind my head and they are virtually invisible, but the sound quality is so so. My biggest question is, does the wedge on the floor give you ample , good quality sound, yet not interfere with the mains....I'm open to any and all recommendations at this point..sorry to touch on an old discussion...just looking for new ideas...Regards Brian
