Yeah, my speakers/the PA at the Brickhaus is a pair of Peavey SP-2s
(semi-old) that I bought for $300. Heavy fuckers, but tanks. However,
someone somehow blew the cones on both of them. Plenty of sound out of the
bottom, though.
I rented some SP-5gs for the Chomsky show this last weekend and they were
great. Smaller, lighter (10 pounds only, alas), and 200 watts more (500 v
300). Too bad I won't be buying any speakers any time soon.
