Fran, I like stuff like that...it seems to last forever...I have a pair of Yamaha MS60S powered monitors (60 watts each) that were bought in 1988, and are still working (and looking) like the day they were purchased, despite being used on stage, studio, and in my home, for almost every gig and practice session I've played.

They are perfect for my needs and all the many arrangers I had over the years, sounded terrific through them.

I can't see me ever selling them...lots of memories...they weren't cheap, but they really prove the old adage, "You get what you pay for..."

I sold Roland Cubes (60's & 100's) way back in the day of Frank McKnight's Music here in Cape Breton...and I agree with you, Fran...another great product.
