Do you need a couple hundred dollars that bad?

The 10s today were inspiring. They make the 450s sound like crap. It has nothing to do with money. I'm secure, both financially and emotionally at this age - jealous?

One question still remains...even in a nursing home or home studio situation...how long will the 8's hold up without problems.

I have had the Mackie HR 824's (original design) for 9 years now without even a hickup...and sometimes I pound them pretty good! Ive never even heard a crackle and certainly no distortion...after all they are monitors, not PA.

I'm happy, thankful to Fran and moving forward. If I need to talk to Sasha once in a while, that' a good thing

I have to say this: My Shure wireless headset has never sounded better. I can finally hear my voice over the music - crystal clear. No matter what I tried with the Mackies, I could never accomplish that - it always sound hollow. The 10s (with handles) are fabulous. They are light enough and wedge really well.

Now...for me, next up is the T2 being shipped. My decision was inspired by:

Mikey, Gary, Ian, Steve Demming (thanks for the DVD), Bill Dayton and a few others.

They had PLENTY of power, and I ran them really hard for many hours at home, so hard that the neighbor across the street asked me what I was doing.
One of them has a problem. I suspect it's a solder joint on the input. They didn't overheat. I'll swap it out and try them another time.
I really don't expect to use them regularly, but plan to have them available for small jobs and for backup.
I still like them a lot. If nothing else, I'll have them set up at home to practice through.
I do have two sets of Bose L1s, although I've never used them together. One I leave set up at the club; the other I use for "outside" jobs. I used to keep the Logitech in the van for backup should the Bose ever fail. Now I have another option.

No way! I love the 800. Like you, diversity and what could be better than the T2? I should be able to grab those great styles/sounds to create mp3s that I can stick in the 800 for live play (figured out how to use the Helicon this way - very cool).

You mean your creating Mp3 backing tracks to go out & sing in the audience with or...?
