    Starting a combo

    I'm certainly not the most experienced individual in the world, but I've been playing in a jazz combo of some form or another for the past 5 years, and a bit over a year ago I started up the group I'm currently with, Zarathustra.

    Re: Why dont they make V16s in 2.75

    I would try a 2.5 strong, 3 light and 3 medium if you want a 2.75.

    The problem is it also depends on the mpc with its baffle and facing curve. You only will know if you try it for yourself.
