Thanks for all the replies ! I've just browsed quickly over them and will take more time to actually read them this weekend. About the speakers: yes, to know them. But then, way back when I was more into music and much less into computers I was used to having Marshalls and the like. Amplifiers to which you connect your guitars, and yet other amplifiers to which you connect your synths. Since I"m still planning to get "old fashioned" hardware MIDI synths modules connected to the software sequencer I'll use (as opposed to using Soundfonts or any software-based sound generation) I'll need also amplification for these, an amplification that can balance nicely with any computer-generated sound (using a good set of computer speakers). By the way, when you record the output of external synths, can you connect directly their outputs to any eventual computer input ? If you have three external synths, surely you need an external mixer, isn"t it ? Or is there some other configuration nowadays ? Or is it that you have to mike the output of the synths' own amplifiers ? Thanks again for comments/suggestiosn/hints ! Al
