Uncle Dave,
Of course mike is only giving his opinion, so he's not the master of the thruth, as it happens with any other person. I even don't agree with his opinion about the Mackie SRM450. SRM450 are heavier, less powerful and bigger than the SXA360...
But I do agree with you, UD, when you say we shouldn't talk about any equipment as we owned it, without ever testing it in first hand.
Speaking for mysfelf, I already tested (only for a small time) the SRM450 and liked it. Here I live I'm unable to test the SXA360 and that's why I'm asking for help from anyone who owns it.
I've also read about the overheating problem of the SRM450, and I can't take that risk because what we do (at least in my case) isn't a game, but a real professional "job".
