Two things I hadn’t thought of:

(1). Speaker directly in my face makes the ringing in my ears worse.

(2). I cant use my mic rig that attaches to my keyboard stand...PAas in the way. I had wanted to use it as a monitor for live gigs but that won’t work with my mic set up.

That said, the sound of the PAas is exceptional. If I didn’t gig, didn’t have the SSV.3, I think I might have kept it.

I took Donny’s advice and am using my SSV.3 as a monitor. As good as I believe the PAas to be, the SSV.3 really is that much better sounding....and I own it.
