    I'm thinking the touchy feely policy policy of not beating up on some of the newbs has pretty much run it's course.

    Anybody remember me? "Socks on tweets" Longing for more power cause these speaks always want more, 400 watts peak!


    I've done my research! Had a Hafler 500 hooked up to these for a year, The "Pro" amp (Qsc sounds just as good without breakdown!)

    I know this is a touchy subject for you "Pro" consumer peeps! But i'm here too tell you that aint the case! Call me whatever you want! I know what my ears hear! Put me to the test! Anybody in Pa wanna listen? you're more than welcome! I'm tired of the fight! I know now that i don't have to spend 10 grand on a good amp, and if that's what you "consumer" people wanna think? think it! Like i said before, A good amp gives you garbage in, garbage out! Go ahead and laugh! I got way more for my buck!

    I live in western pa, Come and listen! My amp now (without distortion) Will kill my Polk Monitor 12'ves! I don't care what you say!
    I've had them long enough to know what amp will drive them and what won't!


    This "Pre" Pro" ****'s gotta stop! I'm not 17!

    If it makes you happy good for you. You will not convince anyone here.

    The rest of us know the truth. But have fun blasting those 12's with a PA amp.

    While you may not be 17, you do have the grammar of a teenager. :rolleyes:

    I love exclamation marks too! Yes I do! I can use them all day! I can turn it up to 11 with my pro amp! I love tinnitus!!!!

    Ha, just messin' with ya. Like I said, I used a QSC RMX1450 in my system years ago and it wasn't bad at all. I have a B&K Ref 200.2 S2 coming in next week, I want to taste the finer things in life :P
