Hey! Guys!
I'm new to this forum, but glad to be here! Liberatusvirus, we've 
spoken before. I have a DTXtremeIIS on order and am concerned about 
the Yamaha home monitors also. I am planning to get the MS50/100DR 
with the new kit, but can find little feedback on their performance. 
My needs are for in-home only, but even there, I don't want a tinny 
sounding kick drum!! I am actively searching for reviews and will 
post anything I find. Thanks
Dan
