RE: speaker question again



Good point.  Unfortunately, we are losing these pro audio stores because so
many people go to them to use their services, then go to the discount store
to make the final purchase.

Blow off the guitar center and try to find a pro audio store. It may cost a
little more, but there's a very good chance they will loan you the speakers
or give you a good return policy. they will also more likely have a good
room in which to hear the monitors. The higher price comes out in the wash
as better customer service. Often people who work there have studio
experience and they aren't just drones to sell the flavor of the month
guitar to high school shredders. They will hopefully be able to steer you
in a good direction.
