if you bought his Adam's, it would be a sin to merely use them a few times a week to just DJ on

you will physically hear them crying all day and night long

if its solely for djing, get yourself some nice hifi speakers and amp

this looks like what i need really.

just scared of buying it now. represents a lot of money for something potentially i might have little use for.
at the moment i just need it for a night, in which i am djing for free.
hardly a return on my investment.

well you've only just stated you're going to be using them live, if you'd said that from the start we'd have all suggested a pair of pa monitors

check with local sound hire, I`ll bet you can get a little 500W or less set up for about 34 quid or something.
Or just get the dweebs running the gig to sort it for you.

yes i only realised i needed one for that use until a week ago.

i did assume that the active monitors would double as a pa.

infact i am using a KRK8 as a PA on saturday.

Nearfield monitors such as KRK8 are not only the wrong type of speaker for a pa in terms of the type of sound they produce, but you will also probably shred the **** out of them using them for this purpose.

Generally, PA speakers are what you need, when you want a PA.
They are hard wearing, more full range in sound, and can handle being lifted about.

NRG Phil is a seperate entity.

NRG Phil met you at some after party at Robins, post-Filth. You were there with your partner, techno Phil made a fool of himself by exposing himself.
NRG Phil is tall and dark. He remembers you.

That is the least of what that pervert has done, he has a poor rep, throughout the North Trent region for fondling and exposing himself.

NRG Phil is pretty cool. He told me you were making fun out of Techno phil that you called him Techno Filler. He He , nice one.
