Worked in MI retail myself, Ian.... never had a problem selling ugly sh*t that sounded great (was the first dealer for Ensoniq
Mirage in the South). Couldn't sell bad sounding gear no matter WHAT bells and whistles were on it.

Seems like squeak (who had one ) thinks the speakers were a PLUS, not a minus. I think you miss
what younger players want. FIRST, it has to sound cool. After that, well, who the heck knows? Because
NOTHING in the arranger pantheon sounds cool

Until someone makes one, you can't even speculate whether speakers make any difference or not...

(And damnit! Why did I bother TinyURL-ing my first post just to end up with the page too wide anyway?
Got a URL too wide for the page, mc? Use TinyURL, and keep things readable... )
