Hi! Yeah, I must admit, youīre totally right there. I hadnīt been following the thread so I didnīt even see the humor, just an opportunity to be a smart-aleck (which failed miserably). However we here in the land of fire and ice often use the description "amplifier" when explaining the purpose of the sound board, explaining the shorting of my circuitry, however lame that sounds. The term loudspeaker is a little too crude in Icelandic.
