Re: Beginning looper - studio monitor, PA?

[Daryl Shawn <highhorse@mhorse.com>]

Last month there was discussion of portable PA's, especially powered 
speakers. Try looking in the archives for "tiny PA". I ended up liking 
the Yamaha Stagepas 300 system - a pair of very portable two-way passive 
monitors, with a powered mixer that fits in the back of one of them - 
and nabbed one from Ebay for $420 or so. I know Yamaha is soon to 
release a single-speaker version too, which I think would work for small 
situations (unless, obviously, you need stereo).
