Can you tell me why it is harder to set up the Crest? Also, how much more
sonic goodness does the Midas have over the Crest in its eq and overall
sound?
Are the eqs radically different? Is one surgical and the other wide
bandwidth
colorful?

Considering that you won't be doing a setup day in and day out, it's a no
brainer to setup the Crest. I don't recall that you'd mentioned it before,
so I'd assumed a live mixing situation. You can scratch that as a negative
in a install setup.

As far as sonics are concerned I assume that if Tonebarge can get what he
gets out of ADATs and a Mackie 1604, the difference in choice between the
Venice and the XR20 is of minimal difference.

I don't know who your retailer is for Crest, but I borrowed an XR20 for a
live jazz recording at the local Improv as a test from the Mid-Atlantic
distributor out of Huntvalley, MD. I've also tried out a full blown SADiE
system from Washington Professional Systems by giving SADiE a call in
Nashberg without a problem. I don't know why Crest wouldn't be willing to
do the same for you.
