[QUOTE="Adam Kane, post: 34306, member: 529"] Re: ISP Technologies... Tell me about them because the salesman couldn't. I've been an ISP fan for quite a few years now. To greatly simplify, I believe their goal is to make some of the best sounding stuff out there. Period. They are also one of the best companies I'm aware of in regards to listening to dealer/installer/end-user input. We (and I'm sure others) have mentioned things we liked or didn't care for with certain products, and...sure enough...the next revision has the changes. In the contractor market, they have the ability to customize nearly any product they have to get the job done. As far as the company itself, I've been to their factory in Waterford, MI several times and have met Buck, Shelly, and Jon (as well as most of the shop/office people). My first dealings with them were when their primary (at least it seemed to me) line of gear was guitar stuff and a couple of subs. They now have grown to occupy a very large shop/office/warehouse space. I honestly can't remember a time when I've used their gear (either installed or portable) and didn't have a great experience with it. Everyone at the factory is absolutely great...a very genuine, down-to-earth bunch of people. As Peter and Rob have both mentioned, the first thing you'll notice is clarity. Not just mids, or highs, or sub-bass...but everywhere. It's a very open, but neutral (and by that nature, somewhat unforgiving) sounding lineup. If you know how to mix and start with good inputs, you'll be highly impressed. If you give it garbage, it will reveal every little flaw. I like systems like that, some people don't. I think it pushes you to hone your skills a little more. Also, the stuff is crazy efficient. There have been times (not usually by choice) when I have run a large amount of gear (or have seen it done in demos) off sketchy power with very little impact on performance until pushed near its limit. I'd highly suggest taking a listen to any of their gear. None of it is cheap, but it will nearly always outperform other similarly priced gear. There's a lot of odd-ball companies out there whipping out their generic active pole-mounted speakers and hacked up line arrays. I assure you ISP is NOT one of those companies.
