[QUOTE="Jonathan Wiegratz, post: 51303, member: 1085"] Re: Failure rate Uli, I have to admit, I had my doubts that you would actually join us on the board. You've graciously put yourself in the line of fire.... I've had mostly good experiences with your products... but sometimes find them to not be as "clean" sounding as others. Anyhow, I had a Eurodesk MX1604 last me a good 7 years before one of the pots started getting 'fuzzy'. I've owned a few Behringer DI boxes for 6+ years... they've taken a beating and still work great. On the flip-side, in my bands beginning stages, I did own a 4600 series compressor that worked for a year, then one gig, just wouldn't power on. Completely dead. So like many others here, I've found consistency to be hit-and-miss, and has led me to look in other directions. That all said, you deserve a great deal of respect for coming here, and some of your answers regarding your new manufacturing processes have turned my opinion of your products. If I did have any question at all... it would be about the X32. My band is in the market for a new digital console, as we are looking to upgrade from our Allen & Heath MixWiz3. We have been looking at the new A&H GLD board, but have had a passing interest in the X32. If we're going to make an investment in a product of this sort, we will need to actually "use" it, and not make a blind purchase off of specs and images online... This would entail using our speaker system so we can have a real 'A/B' style comparison to our current MixWiz. Is this something that you or one of your resellers would be able to facilitate? I'm sure that there will be several other interested parties in having a similar "demo" experience. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
