Thanks Terry. I actually read this article last night. Looks like Mackie is a clear winner for both price and sound!

I also just came back from the local Sam Ash where I listened to Mackie 824's, it really is awesome. I wanted to buy them but they weren't in stock. So I'll just go ahead and order on-line I guess. The lowest price I have found so far is $1140(pr) shipped. Let me know if you know any place that has it any less than that.

Thanks much for all your help guys!!
