Thanks, Frank

I haven't purchased anything yet. I have now dis-banded my trio and going solo. I was trying see what would be the best for me to carry / sound and price.

I know that the mackies are 40 lbs and retails for 600.00. The JBLs are 32 lbs and retails for 800.00. I have not tested the new mackies v2 as of yet, I did hear the older one that were made in italy. As far as the JBL I was concerned why the 200.00 price jump and if the sound is much better for the extra 200 bucks.

Also one major concern I have is that Loud (Mackie) maybe filing bankruptcy? At least that what I seen posted on the internet.

After my research, I'll give you a call.
Thanks
