No problem Viking, I didn't mean to open such a giant can of worms but I am really...REALLY getting sick of seeing EVERYTHING go to china. I do have some stuff (No music gear that I know of ) made in asia but I really try to stay away from it. Some of the gear I have tried in the past (beheringer) was junk ( my opinion) so I sent it back. I am alway open to new things but I expect big bang for my bucks!
I think I have found my speaks but it means a road trip to Nashville this weekend so maybe my search is over. After playing on the DSL tonight I might have a new problem. After about an hour of playing I had a loud POP and a kind of fizz....Thought I noticed a slight volume loss but thought it might be the older cord I was using. Played for about another hour and no other pops or fizzes......soooooo we'll see.......
