Cool @tomic601. Hurd's a great songwriter, one of his recorded by Junior Brown, one ("If You Play With My Mind You're Gonna Get Your Hands Dirty") by The Skeletons. Hurd's guitarist Paul Skelton (just a coincidence ;-) and I moved to L.A. together in '79, then to NYC in '82. He was (R.I.P., another 2-pack a day smoker) the guitarist on the first two Wayne "The Train" Hancock albums, but didn't go on the road with him. In his place was Evan Johns, another guitarist I worked with. Small world!
So you got yourself an RM-9, ay? I'm keeping my eyes open for one myself, until then my RM-10 and RM-200 will have to do ;-) . What speakers are you hooking it up to? My RM-10 goes with my Quad 57's, the RM-200 with Eminent Technology LFT-8b's.
