There's these speakers called yamaha 202ii. they're a powered monitor speaker around 20 watts and sound awesome. i used to use one for playing my 12 string at solo acoustic gigs in cafes in 2001. i have had a bit of trouble trying to find one. i have recently found out they are discontinued. WHY? they are good! solid, robust, versatile and have good sound quality. Why did they remove RCA's from ghetto blasters??<br> why does my laptop i bought 3 weeks ago (made in China of course) rattle when i hit the keys? it has all the big specs, goes well but, the rattle???<br> 2 years ago i bought a reel to reel multitracker and well now i've got pro tools. its a PITA to configure my computer to it etc, but a much easier option for me with my gypsy lifestyle...<br> <br> im really baffled by the lack of quality in many of todays products, and im bloody tempted to never buy anything again. whats the point? well it seems im not alone!

Sorry to hear about the gear going south. I've had the same problem with foam rot on a pair of Boston Acoustics A60s. <br> <br> Then there is the "sealed" tone pot on the Dunlop Wah pedal. When the pot gets dirty there is no way to spray tuner cleaner inside. I've replaced them two or three times. So frustrating. Great article! Sorry to hear about the gear going south.
