That's not true. We disagree every time I tell you don't need to buy another D-28 and you eventually buy it... That makes a lots of disagreement per year! :D

Indeed. I am gutted. lol

BTW, I'm loving the Collings Traditional. Most enjoyable playing for me since I got the Marquis. You gave me GAS for one last year with your videos. I couldn't find the Adirondack version locally, but fell for the Sitka anyway.

JBL has gotten aggressive in their pre-roll out on the EON one Compact, a couple on line vendors are advertising a price slightly below $500 w/ a shipping date at the end of the month.

I'm considering a pre-purchase at Guitar Center, w/ their return policy I could avoid shipping charges if I didn't like it.

Sweetwater has it listed with a discount around $495. Wow.

My take is that it’s expensive for an 8” two way speaker (perhaps debatable considering the battery) if that mixer isn’t fully featured with gain and impedance matching for common mics and pickups. I plan to try one out in the store and see how the mixer performs.

What is it with JBL and gain staging? It's like there's a design philosophy that keeps veering off in a weird direction, even though these things are built by engineers who have years of training and experience making stuff.



It reminds me of an SUV manufacturer that's been around for years that keeps bringing out small and mid-sized vehicles with unnecessarily small gas tanks, the end result being larger gas-guzzlers that can travel much farther on a single pit stop. You just have to give up on them eventually because they have different priorities--although not having to worry about getting stranded somewhere in a 4WD vehicle, or not having to duct-tape a signal booster to the side of a portable PA whose chief benefit is convenience, seems like a reasonable expectation.

Exactly! Plus I think I owned that compact SUV with the small gas talk you eluded to. LOL
