Of course, after buying used and uninformed, the OP obviously has little recourse other than bashing the whole product line on an open forum based on preconceived geographic/geopolitical biases.
Where exactly did I BASH the ENTIRE Product line ?? you can read correct ? I said ACTIVE SPEAKER LINE...
Uninformed ?? So you are calling me stupid basically huh ?
For your information I Looked at the specs and these were the next step up from what I had so I was not "Uninformed" except for the fact that the quality has obviously declined from what I originally had. If the speaker I had basically worked fine for 4 yrs of punishment of 2-3 gigs a week on avergane and I lost one LF driver in 4 yrs then how is going to the next size up the wrong choice or uninformed or me expecting more than I should
? Expecting more than I should Expecting more than I should ....
Again someone please explain that statement that has been made here more than once.
The one's I had worked but but I wanted the next size up to allow a bit more headroom and not always have to push the speakers.
I SAID I have had good luck in the past with Mackie.
That said I am more displeased since trying to repair them. The diaphragms are not serviceable on the later Chinese made HF drivers which is what I have. The older ones could be repaired. These are throw a ways and it cost me 110$ plus 35$ expedited shipping to get a new HF driver.
If I didn't pay the 35$ extorted fee The driver would not even be shipped for 10 days. That is not customer service, that is extortion. I will probably sell these and look at the ART series. Part availability and price certainly need to play a factor.
I am not in a position to buy "pro" gear. I don't do this for a living.
