[QUOTE="Arik Semagin, post: 115186, member: 5072"] Re: New Midas M32 Console Very true, John. Even as Chinese manufacturing proponent as I am (All our Apple stuff is made in China, even X-Servers that run iTunes), I must admit: Chinese-made Mackies are not the same. I have 12 older SRM-450s (grey), all Italian-made, except for couple "Made in USA" that are identical to Italian. They do sound different than Chinese-made grey 450s, punchier and cleaner. Yes, woofer is different in Chinese ones, but overall they don't sound anywhere close to Italian. I think Mackie also missed the target by not offering truly revolutionary products since SRM-450 and CR-1604 mixer (may be 24-8 too). These were a hit, everything since was just like everyone else's. Big SRs and HDs (1521, 1530) are no match to QSC offerings, even at lower price. Mackie is the one who should've came up with X32, super cool and affordable true digital mixer for masses, like 1604 once was back in 90s. [/QUOTE]
