Mackie is not as good as it once was. I have a friend that rents out DJ gear and hes going from Mackie to QSC because of all the problems Mackie speakers are having. I hope they figure out the issues their powered speaker line is having and fix it fast.
@andocrates I just had my EON 515 repaired for the 2nd time. When they work, they sound good, but you start feeling like you better have some back up speakers. EONs are made in China. Almost everything is. Still not sure where the PRX line of JBL is made.
I've been using JBL eon G2's (15 inch) for years , I like them a lot but the top end can run away with itself if you don't keep an ear on them.
I was gonna plum for Mackie srm450's at the time of buying the JBL's but I thought the JBL's sounded better.
Now I'm in the process of running two rigs and I've got hold of a pair of Mackie srm450 V2 speakers (new and at a fantastic price - £680).Can't wait to try them in a gig situation.
@DJCasanovaToronto You had a bad experience with Mackie but overall the brand is awesome. I've heard a pair of those at a bar and they sound WAY better than any Yorkville, JBL or QSC I've heard in my life. Even better than the K12's.
these loudspeakers have an excellent sound

@reminaya You really do need redundancy on the road but I can barely afford-gear as it is and have no extra room

Mackie srm-450 speakers SUCK!
Even YORKVILLE is better.. don't believe me, put a pair of these Mackies side by side with a pair of Yorkville NX55P and you'll hear the difference.
This speaker cuts out when it gets warm, then you have to wait till it cools down. I've NEVER had that happen with Yorkville, JBL or other brands.
Give it a rest people, don't be a follower... use your own ears when looking for powered speakers and TRUST YOUR EARS.
MACKIE = CRAPPY!!!!
