Re: MS50DR Monitor System

2003-10-17 by loud_clear_sound

Hi all,

I am using a Samson DB500A as drum monitor. It`s a 15" + 1" box, 
loaded with two amps. a 400W for the woofer and a 100W for the high 
end.
It`s around $499.00. It sounds amazing with lots of low extension for 
it`s price.


Good luck.

Chips
