Well, this weekend I came to a tough realization...
Much like allot of you, I travel with a radio every where I go. Much like allot of you, I have some radio's to choose from so I tend to rotate them and choose radio's that will best fit the situation that I will be in. AND, much like most of you I always think "Bigger Is Better".
But the last few times I was out I really struggled with the sear size of some of the radio's I have brought with me (777, 975, 935)
Me personally, I love the big blasters AND I want to have plenty of power should I "Need" to get up on the volume knob.
The problem I have been facing is.....I haven't had the need to get up on the volume knob
And, I keep ending up in situations where it is GREAT to have a radio with me, but the environment it too cramped or crowded to easily navigate the party with out risking damage to my baby.
There have been many times that I have brought the 920, SCR-8 or SM9990 and ran into the same problem.
So after this weekend I have started thinking....Maybe I need a "Small" radio! Something with good sound and a line in.
Believe me, if I was really getting up on the volume knob, I wouldn't even think of it. But the situations aren't calling for it. Allot of times I end up over at my bass players house after band rehearsal partyin' till 4am and we have music on, just not loud.
Could get by with out the need for 8 inch speakers.
Other times, we are relaxing with people, talking, music is in the background, not the main focus. Music volume is between 1-2.
So, I'm at a cross roads.....might be time to start looking at mini's
:'-( and put my aspirations of C100F's behind me and be more practical.
(yep, maybe it's time to sell the sports car, get a responsible four door and take that job offer from my brother in law over at the used car lot. Wearing a tie isn't so bad right???? He say's he can get me a deal on a toupee too!

. So yea - go for some mini 
. You can put minis on the bag too. And some of them have pretty good sound too. Not so hungry on batteries. And finally- lack of "hey see how big is my weapon" attitude 
these only have a tone control but they sound great and loud.

a few mids, and a few biggees. It's nice to have the choice to Big up, or Small down as the situation requires. There are a few big sounding minis that would suit you well for those "Chill-axing" moments. You def. have some choices. You are not alone.
