Hi Kris > The FBTs are the only ones I haven't heard. I think there is a store here > in > Boise that carries them. Are they from Italy as well? Yes, that's right. They come from Italy. http://www.fbt.it/intranet/Inglese/pae/speaker/FBTMaxX/index.asp I didn't know them either until I read this review (tools4music PDF "Little Loudmakers"): http://www.tandemsales.net/links.htm Here is a comparison of FBT Maxx 4a with Mackie 450s (forum): http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?t=832463 As I said, to me it's pretty much a draw between the FBT and RCF. The built-in 3-band EQ made me decide for the FBTs (quite handy when you have a minimal setup). Have fun testing :) Buzap -- GMX Kostenlose Spiele: Einfach online spielen und Spaß haben mit Pastry Passion! http://games.entertainment.gmx.net/de/entertainment/games/free/puzzle/6169196
