Re: OT: Small/Light Acoustic Guitar Amps for Nylon String Guitars



You are right, and I have a simliar system that I've used: Two powered EV 
Sx100 12" cabs and my mackie board...but it doesn't meet my jazz gig 
criteria setup time of 5 minutes or less, nor does it meet my system 
weight 
criteria...30 pounds or less. :)

Other than this, I totally agree. That setup is good as any, plus stereo.
