That is pretty much what I have too John.Spirit F1/16 mixer, but then just
headphones (AKG240m and Sony mdr7506). Then I take it out to my DVDplayer
and some not high end but still rather pricey fullrange speakers from Kef
and Bowers and Wilkins. Everything to go for that audiophile neutral kind of
sound, but as I wrote I am starting to wonder about my priorities when I
play a track or two on really bassy cloub style speakers and love it. So I
am wondering a bit... hey why don't I have that setup at home when I love
it

Beside... I have long since given up the idea of selling anything really. I
will keep my music as a hobby and stay away from the hassle of pressure to
perform and such.

What did your "obsessing" friend end up with
