Donny,

The Bose just didn't fill the room with the stereo sound I'm used to. Too many highs (for my taste) and I don't want to configure stuff the rest of my life. Directly behind gave me a headache, to the left or right sounded like I was missing something.

The new Mackie Blues - 450v2 - I'm all blue now : ) sound great! with PLENTY of bass, highs and fabulous separation. That's what I comfortable with. I love to hear the instruments in stereo At 40 lbs, they're a breeze to handle.

I still play with the 900, not ready yet for the 800, but it's close and is sounding VERY cool. The lame 900 power adapter wires frayed again, so I have to spend yet another $100 - what a stupid design Yamaha.

Just coming off 7 jobs in two days and a break for one day....20 hours today on the 800 to get it ready.

Thanks for asking.
