I eliminated the B-band in my X10N, in favor of a K&K. The B-band was OK, but over time I realized that I really didn't need the eq features and I really hated the battery hassle. I have the K&K in my Rainsong parlor and in my X10-OSN. I also had the K&K in my CA/Peavey Cargo. I like the K&K.

I like that the B-band had tuner and volume controls, but the mini-tuners work just fine for me and a volume cord takes care of on-board sound level.
