Well, last night I dusted off the headphones and came out of retirement to do a gig. It was the Christmas party of our local newspaper. I had done their party for many, many years when I was actively "giggin" and they asked me to come do it again. There's an old saying, don't argue with people who buy ink by the ton. 
After more than 15 years as a very active mobile DJ, I have been "retired" for a couple years and have been focused on helping other pro audio users with their gear selection. So I took to heart what I say to others.
I decided I did not want to lug a big, heavy system around in 12" of snow last night. Instead I grabbed a Dynacord Powersub 315 and a pair of VL262s from the showroom. I easily carried both VL262s in ONE HAND and effortlessly rolled the powersub in (even through the snow) and had it set-up in minutes.
The press operators like to, ummm.. rock.. and I mean HARD. They like me, but they were highly skeptical about these 7" wide speakers and they let me know their concerns. I just wryly smiled and said, "just wait".
I had an unbelievable amount of compliments, both from people who have seen me perform for 10 years or better, and from first timers. The sound was just as I've come to expect from Dynacord. Smooth, full, crisp highs and thunderous lows. No doubt at ALL that it outpounded the much larger cabinets I started with nearly 20 years ago, yet it wasn't overbearing or distorted.
I have demo'd Dynacord rigs for mobile DJs and concert tours, everything from D-Lite series to Cobra series, and I've seen them used in many, many customer's real world environments but never used one at any of my own "gigs" (largely due to my retirement from doing gigs, there just weren't any gigs to use them at). I woke up today excited to come to work at NLFX and happier than ever that I have helped so many step into these systems.
