: From PA to S&M, eh?

: Welcome from another "bar bander".

: Many here forget the starting stage, the time where you are learning to disregard BS advertising and what appears to be same specs but cheaper may actually be a BAD deal, while still having little or no investment capital and often buying up mismatched used equipment cause you CAN afford it. Just keep that in mind.

: Carvin is alright for a lot of uses, but you can often do better for hardly any more money. And ALL customer service is send it to the factory, where even good service requires shipping delay time. As Doug mentioned, it is NOT considered PRO gear in the case of riders. Most people/performer's direct experience with Carvin is with their lowest line speakers, and yes, they suck!

: I have and use a Carvin HT1000, bridged for a sub, bought used, no probs for the 3 years I've owned it.

: I have used the TR1502 speakers for tops with one previous band, with Carvin replacement 18"s in Peavey cabs. Ran everything in mono, tops biamped. Never pushed it real hard, good enough sound. Initially adjusting the crossover and EQ with a spectrum analyzer probably helped ;^).

: I have and currently use a cheap Behringer Crossover to good effect.

: BUT, I haven't used Carvin mixers. The few friends that have experience with them and other boards didn't like them, inadaquate headroom, something about the strip EQs being poor, and what appeared to be a wide tolerance in specs on the preamps using same type mics. Again, secondhand knowledge on that.
