Thanks for the replies: I needed a small portable amp to carry with me to my boondock retreat in the summer. I have a Creative mp3 player and I have a Sony sub woofer that I hooked up to it.Now that I got this thing I will use the pants off it.Yes it does eq curve towards mid range but with the sub and some giggling of the tone controls it come across fairly good.I don't recommend it for the 7000 unless you are going to use it for the sub outs and selective instruments.But for $300 I think I got a bargain,not much out there along those lines.At 65 and retired the hearing has diminished somewhat and upper mid range is a little weak Huh?? Well I'm glad I got some attention on this even though I sprung too soon. Thanks Jaxziel
