Just to set the record straight, Yamaha offered us a end of year Christmas special on the MS400's, the MX12/6 mixer and the EMX3000 powered mixer. The deals are all over and only if a dealer has any left will the price be this reasonable.
I have sold many MS400's. Many players prefer the 15" speaker although the size is the same as the Mackie and the high end is not so harsh on the Yamaha. The Mackie tends to have alot of hiss coming from the horn which the Yamaha does not.
I have 2 MS400's left for $400.00 each and the EMX3000 powered mixers are $599.00 each. The retail price of the MS400 is $845.00 and the EMX3000 is $999.00. The EMX3000 is discontinued and has been replaced with the EMX5000 (just a little more Power), but the MS400 has not been discontinued.
