I also hooked up a beautiful Ecler Nuo mixer, and a pair of Shure M44-G's carts for the full experience.... trust me when I say they sound DEEEEE-CENT !!!!!! the proof is via Transmit Box Flat...
anyways, i digress - in no particular order, here are some of the 12's I'm happy to have found this year.
absolute MAXIMUM RESPECT must go out to 0800dark and DonSTaR for hooking me up.... and of course Sounds Of The Universe ....
BIGUP !!
