I know part of this thread has devolved into EDM, but I think of this as primarily a live music room (internet room), not playback. I ask because I still use a lot of testing of me through the mic. I know there is talk earlier about "this is the best sounding speaker with my voice", but I go a bit further than that when setting up. As in, I do like my voice as source, because it is one thing I know the best. But I also like to hear the mic live, and how it is going to react. It is more than quality, but also, what else is the mic going to hear? And it is about a live mic(s) stability. Peter, I like the hanging hardware. I use something similar all the time. But for a different end. Instead of speakers on a stick, it's speakers from sticks. I put two sticks up from my subs/lows, and a crossbar. So the mid/high is always suspended, not impaled from the bottom of the cabinet. This has two advantages. 1) I can tilt the cabinets by choosing my points on the track. 2) It is much more stable.
