uses a midrange Mackie (it's a vlz-80, i think) board speakers, and i

bad?

Their small stuff is very good value for the money. For sound
reinforcement
work where all you are doing is incidental music and speeches in not very
good acoustic environments, they are plenty good enough. If you are a
recording studio, they suck large rocks through small holes. Depends on
your application. My biggest beef with them is that they use ribbon
connectors internally, and they have, um, issues with reliability, and
service
on them is rather expensive, labor-wise.

Well from a live perspective I can do ANY job on a behringer I could do
on a mackie, except with the behringer I have spent 1/3 the money to get
it done, with at least equal quality and reliability
Mackie was a breakthrough product 15 years ago
it no longer is
today it is justWAY overpriced bottom feeder rig
