Re: Grumpy guy observation about the X32 threadAssuming a US$2000 for valuation per mixer, that's $40m.

Uli is promising some uber-astounding products from the same technology push at NAMM, so we'll know about those in a couple of weeks. If they can continue support in the current USA/Germany fashion they will mollify most of the critics of their old build and QC problems. A more difficult legacy to overcome will be the "R & D by photocopier" and IP misuse. I still have those memories and I'm not ready to let go just yet, but at some point, who knows?Your comment about the results of driving down price points into the lower depths of the experience pool is spot on. I think we sussed this out in the Behringer line array thread...
