That sounds like the company is still pretty valuable to "SOMEBODY". I still love the quality and performance of the products I own, and I think the features are very well organized and laid out.The stuff makes sense.

If you're worried, Boo .... stick with a proven winner that you are already familiar with, and buy a Peavey powered mixer. You can get a stereo mixer/amp with all the perks that Makie offers for a little less $$$ and still have a great sounding, great looking, ROADWORTHY product.

After all the stuff I've used over the years, I still can't knock the performance or prices or Peavey gear. It's the most reliable stuff I ever owned.
