     Using cheapo boomboxes and various types of cheapo
     car speakers to CHECK a mix certainly makes infinitely
     more sense than using Yamaha NS10s.  

     I have never understood the logic that states that
     if they check well on NS10s they will work on a boom
     box, or in someones cheapo car system ...

     (I still believe what I read on rec.audio.pro written
     by Richard D. Pierce [you could do a DejaNews search 
     dpierce@world.std.com] who is quite an authority
     on loudspeaker design.  He mentioned that the way that
     the Yamahas have achieved such a universal presence
     in the studio world is because they were given away
     early on...they have no other quality that achieved
     such presence other than they were free.
