Fran:
The discrepancy question was solved by my call to Yorkville
in Ontario. they said that the 50 lbs was inaccurate, and they
updated all their specs this year--so that's why it now says
57.3 lbs. Hoiwever, there is new Traynor K2 , sort of a
"little brother" of the K4. it's got all the features except
only 2 channels, 3-band eq, and it's not stereo. it's 44 lbs
and can be had for $525-585 online w/free shipping. If my
"dumbell test" fails, and 57.3 proves too much, I'm going to consider the K2..have you tried it?

Diki:
sometimes you are terrific and sometimes you are an insufferable snot. I explained to you once before that
handling weight in a kb is totally different from handling
it in an amp. if one can't understand that, one is either
a moron (which you are obviously not) or has an agenda
to just win arguments based on their prejudices. you are
a g-70 fan (fanatic is more apt) and anyone who can afford one and likes the sounds who doesn't get one is in your mind commiting an unpardonable transgression.
Similarly, your hounding me on using midi pedals for the E60 was off-base, as George Kaye investigated that for me and found it very problematic, even after discussing it with the #1 tech at Roland.
also, to answer another of your barbs, I don't generally play to large groups of people dancing in front of me, and
when i do, they become the audience, and the beat becomes the issue, and muddiness becomes irrelevant.
I don't have to project clarity THROUGH them to another
audience, just AT them.
You are at the same time one of the most helpful and one
of the most intolerant people on sz. Try to get out of your
own prejudices and LISTEN once in a while, OK?
