Under $10,000? My guess is $9,999. I really don't foresee them dropping the bottom out on price for this desk
The A&H iLive t80 is $9999 just for the surface, which is unusable until you get a dsp/input.
It's not much more expensive than a LS9-32
What is there in the Digital age with this feature set around the $10k mark.
Add $5000 for a DL251 extra 48ins/16 outs.
I also see this console selling more Pro2/6/9s in a multi hall concert hall installation. Having for say a Pro9 for the mail hall, Pro2 as monitor/mobile for smaller hall and the Pro1 for small gigs (Conference, small jazz trio etc.) allowing you to own set of input racks and surfaces for scalability.
Sometimes you just don't have enough space for a Pro9
