My band have just found a Peavey PA system for about £560, but when they checked on the Peavey website it should have been over a thousand. They checked it thoroughly, and it is exactly the same. It's on Academy Of Sound's website. Do you reckon we should throw some money together and buy it? It's 1200 watts, 8 channel, 6 speaker, and has a feed back filter. |

From past (and bitter) experience, if you are buying from the Academy of S****, be VERY VERY careful, OK? |

Didnt i tell you about the treatment i saew Fender American series basses getting by one of their 'techs' and dont you remember the infamous 'its got two preamps, so yeah, you get twice the volume.'
AOS aren't great. But we're stuck with them in this country, especially after the sounds live merger.

| | Banned | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Strensall, York, England | | | I dunno what it is, but it has 8 channels, 6 speaker outputs, and about 2 billion knobs and switches. I think it said it was a monitor, but I didn't read it too much, my dad did that and checked it was what we're after. |

i suggest you do some research before spending money. how can you come ask us if you should buy an item when you dont even know what it is...? |

| | Banned | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Strensall, York, England | | | My band knows what it is, my dad knwos what it is, and it's what we're after. I didn't do the buying, my dad did. It was mainly him and the lead singer/guitarist who did the research. |

You ACTUALLY bought what may or may not be a powered mixer for the same amount of money.

experience shows that when nick asks for an opinion he's going to do what he wants regardless of input and will get quite offended if anyone offers an opposing viewpoint, regardless of any facts or experience they may present.
