Those Walmart bastards certainly have it coming to them. My own recomendation would be towards unpowered JBL's. I have heard a bunch of them (though not recently) and anything other than their cheapest speakers sound very musical to me. Take that with some salt (more than a few grains, I would recomend), because I do the first 85% of my mixing through a pair of Sony 7604 (?) headphones. Most are horrified when I tell them this, but no one has ever complained about my mixing. Always listen to the final mix in at least three different car stereos before making a cd. I'm not the first to have said it, certainly, nor will I (I suspect) be the last, but I believe more than most. tdb2 -- Report: Many Rappers May Suffer From Unrealistically High Self-Images WASHINGTON, DC--According to an American Psychological Association report released Tuesday, a large percentage of U.S. rappers may suffer from unrealistically high self-images, placing them at risk of a host of emotional and interpersonal problems. The study--which examined the attitudes and self-perceptions of over 600 MCs in hoods across the U.S., including Illtown, H-Town, Strong Island, the Brooklyn Zoo, Harlem World and Long Beach--found that nearly 95 percent of those surveyed suffered from a distorted sense of their own prowess, particularly with regard to wealth, sexual potency and influence over their peers. "While personal confidence is a vital aspect of building a healthy self-image, an exaggerated sense of self can lead to trouble," APA study head Dr. Judith Danziger said. "The overconfidence these rappers display can have a wide range of negative consequences, from humiliating defeat at the hands of a superior MC to getting a cap placed in one's ass." for the whole article go to: http://www.theonion.com/onion3415/rappers_suffer.html
