Good deal?

I've just ordered some now - I needed some longer ones anyway. My pedal board patch cables are tiny - there's very little noise from them though, actually.

That's cuz they're little. Unbalanced cables long enough to actually use for monitors can get noisy.

Yeah, at the moment my AI is tucked right up behind one of the speakers.

These are the monitors I've been eyeing for a while.Equator speakers At the moment it's a toss up between the D5's (I don't have an immediate need to upgrade yet), a nice Acoustic (between $1k and $2k that has a more immediate need) or a couple QSC K10's (which not only are the most immediate need but will have return in investment as I use them doing sound). But I really want a nice acoustic so I can start putting together an acoustic duo. Seems to be the best way to make any money around these parts.

Well, the monitors seem good to me, but then I wouldn't know any different.

A nice medium price acoustic would be a Martin Ellipse. I have one and think it's a great guitar, not too expensive and really good even when plugged in
