Bill they sit because of ignorance Id say,....the LD systems speakers are among the best I have ever used for sure for sound & reliability,..I never liked the sound of any JBL units.. to each his own.
Anyway at least mackie tries to innovate with new gear all the time nothing wrong with that...
Merry Christmas
I agree, people know very little about whats out there and I think tend more to stick with names they recognize.
As I said the Maul System sounded fine when I heard it but I'm sure that heavy sub box and the fact of moving different pieces is what held it back.
JBL went Chinese but I've had good luck so far with my 515xts. Just tired of speaker stands and they project so much I can't get a true feel for my sound with the speaker right next to me. Also very little need for that much power in the venues here. Only twice did I really need it and I doubt if I'll be doing any more gigs like those.
If you can just for fun go listen to an Eon One and better yet bring your keyboard. I think you will be surprized as I was.
Merry Christmas back at ya and have a great New Year.
