I didn't have the heart to tell him how crap they were so I would wait until he left and then disconnect them. I did that every month for a year and he never noticed!

Are any of these rig's in stereo, if they are won't it be pointless them running in stereo as the separation achievable by the mixer and amps will be lost with the cab's all being close together, I can't see the point.
