Just typical of you to misrepresent the facts. None of the drivers in my own rig had protection bulbs. The incident I mention was the result of getting a bit carried away once. The driver protection in the local venue's rig is to protect the equipment from potential abuse from unknown sound engineers. It works and it saves unnecessary expense. Graham

All the Eminence crossovers with protection bulbs use the same 'festoon' type bulb that they recommend for the APT drivers. No Eminence crossover / filter has bulb protection suitable for an 80W driver. As I said, don't lecture about hardware - you'll just make an idiot of yourself. > You are the one whose company went bankrupt. Didn't learn did you? No company of mine has ever gone bankrupt / insolvent. Graham

It something that idiots do. Pretty damn close. Pro systems don't use those silly lights by and large. It's for amateur toy systems.
