Why would I get rid of something that sounds good to something that sounds mediocre? I have heard & even used the lightweight stuff (speakers) & IMO it doesn't compare to good wooden built boxes - never will. I'm sorry the lightweight plastic box speakers do not sound as good and no I will never have them in my arsenal - even when i'm old & decrepit!

Technology is an evil thing to those who refuse to come into the new world.
You refuse to say Hoster is a big jump from disc, but you use it. It is comparable to the farmer who wouldn't sell his mules because he liked the way they smelled. Thank goodness for the people in this world like MTU, etc. that makes the changes in the way we do things.
This is not meant as a rap on the way you do things. I for one just beleive if the technology is there and working, use it. It doesn't mean a thing to me that you prefer the old stuff. I can also apreciate that and know that it works as i used it for years, all the things you listed, i have used for years. I for one will tell you that an "open ear" hears much better.
Now having said all that, I must tell you that for you to refer that anything you have heard new and light is mediocre is a little insulting to one who prefers it over the old way.. I will put my sound against yours or anyboby else's and not worry one little iota. I guess thing are just a little above the rest of us in Tacoma.
Good Luck with your sound and show (and i hope your back holds out)
