I've heard those reliability rumors. What the heck let me add to the them. We've owned a pair of Mackie monitors for three or four years. I use them so often I can't recall the model number. I hate them. Mostly because of reliability. They have a gazillion dollars worth of protective circuits and armed monkeys inside but booom they blow up. We bought them because they sound damned good. I was watching ebay for Alesis M1Active monitors. I've got a pair of those that I've abused to no end for five years. Never a problem. I'd like to replace the Mackie garbage with another pair of M1Active or whatever they have now. ron > Paul Winkler > http://www.slinkp.com > __________________________________ Yahoo!
