Great information on the mono v stereo FOH options. Invaluable contribution Aspen to this never ending debate on KC. If it the SSv3 ever makes it out here I would buy one unheard solely based on the information you have shared here. Unfortunately shipping costs on heavier items like speakers and amps make private import unrealistic.
I know some of the KB orientated retailers and techs who do contract warranty support for some of the major brands here. PM if you would like some contact details.
