I've been rereading some of the boards about recommended sounds systems (portable systems Passport vs Peavey Escort 2000 which is now discontinued, vs separate items to lug around) etc and the issue is that we have no idea what kind of turnout we will get or grow into. They have another amp system ...

Given the way a lot of young people listen to music (bass cranked way up) in tandem with stereo equipment marketing that promotes strong bass and a general preference for music with heavy bass, it's more that people just don't care to notice the difference.

They had some luck getting a lawyer involved to negotiate reduced penalties and better fees than was demanded. Something you alluded to in that thread was mechan...
