Guess you’re the famous Phil Jones responsible for some fantastic high-end speakers (acoustic energy & platinum – I used to be importer for these brands in the Netherlands many years ago ) – couldn’t your bass engine BE-17 be used in home-applications? Look forward to hear from you. B. regards,Jan

I’m seriously wondering what the price here in Australia will be,Phil Jones gear is absolutely legendary,I wonder who the agent is in NSW for them,I’m very interested in trying one out,I have a Mark Bass for gigs,it’s too heavy for anything else but paying gigs,but I need something light and portable for practice’s
