    Hi-fi speakers for hi-fi keys...

    Greetings. I actually posted this in the "keyboards" forum but only later realized monitors are discussed here. This isn't meant as a double post as much as a request to drop by the keyboard section if you know about speakers. My question lies under the same title as this thread, waiting for...

    In need of a name...

    Now I know this is an invitation to alllll kinds of banter, but I've been racking my brain for over two years (no joke) trying to find myself a nom-de-guerre (alias). Reasons abound. For starters, my family situation is worthy of therapy, so I'd gladly ditch my last name (asap). Also, my first...
