Well, I'm all for home grown business, but the podium vs. QSC comparison is just laughable. I had them side by side and the clarity and punch and overall excitement level was apples and oranges. Maybe Chinese apples ... who knows.

All I know for sure is that no Podium (... or JBL, or Barbetta) I ever heard came close to the QSC line. Now that Yamaha and EV have a competitive lineup for the "K" series, we may see some price drops, but for my money - my big jobs are still QSC powered.
