[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 16347, member: 162"] Re: Waves Live Competition is always good for the consumer. I've been watching the Behringer saga, but it's going to take a lot of convincing to get me to seriously consider any gear from them based on a decade of hatred of their business practices and poor quality reputation (a couple specific products excepted). I anxiously await Yamaha's next volley. They are a little like IBM in the late '80s - they are the standard everyone else is compared to. It will be interesting to see if they can take all of that console maturity, keep the rock solid-ness, update the UI, and lower the price to be really agressive, or if other players who started later but have less bagage will be able to lead the pack. This is arguably already happening in certain niches, but Yamaha is at the end of a model cycle, and many of the hot newcomers are at the beginning. [/QUOTE]
