I'm not jumping ship because I've never signed on as a passenger, and prefer (whenever possible) to attempt to think for myself rather than deciding whom to listen to. Tell me, have you ever designed, built, and installed a soundboard assembly with performance in mind, rather than CFTS, and heard for yourself what a reasonably efficient soundboard can do without the "benefit" of tune duplexes?
