Meyer has an excellent "munchkin" speaker that sounds great, but I'll bet is is not cheap.

We recently tried one of these as a possible keyboard-top monitor.    With pre-recorded music it sounded dreadful.  We sent it back.

We are talking about the MM-4 here? I think it is a fine product for what it is. Were you testing the new powered unit, or the original MM-4? If the original, were you running the correct mm-4ceu processor and have it's sense lines properly attached, etc?

Methinks you have some bone to pick with Meyer over something. Certainly, everyone has their preferences about what they like better, but every time Meyer comes up, you chime in with how awful they are.

Given their reputation (not to mention specs or clientele, and completely discounting for a moment what the general consensus in the live sound community is about them), decrying Meyer as "dreadful" and generally unlistenable says much more about you than it does about Meyer.

... I must agree with you, Michael !

No clue on pricing but I did hear a demo a while back and was quite impressed.

Whenever I have posted a Meyer comment, it has been about a specific product that I have heard.  I have never made a generalization about the Meyer line.  Specifically the UM1P, UM100P, and something that I thought was being referred to in this thread ("munchkin" - not the MM4, but something more on the order of a powered JF60 size-wise that I can't find on the Meyer site).  Those are the only Meyer I have heard, and the only ones about which I have made any comment.

I think that's the UPM-1P you heard. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
