Ok, I have a First Watt F-8..so I figured I would read the reviews and see what "so called professionals" are using to review the F-8. Well, I find they use all these esoteric speakers that aren't even for sale anywhere int he USA....Why can't they not use some of the more popular speakers..or speakers they feel re best suited for the particular amp...and visa versa.
