OK Mackie lovers, what's up with these SRM450's ? I've heard so much talk about these speakers that I figured I better check them out. Not that I dislike Mackie products in any way because I own two of their mixing consoles and love them but when I took home a brand new SRM450 and did a direct A-B comparison with the Roland PM3 I was totally blown away. Yes, the Mackie is powerful and much louder than the PM3 but as far as bottom end..forget it. The Mackie was not able to reproduce a kick drum sound with any hope at all. Matter of fact it was pure crap. Oh I know, with the Mackie sub this would be an awesome combo no doubt but by itself it's just an over priced mid and horn. The PM3 is under powered for my needs but as far as a "personal drum monitor" it's pretty amazing. It truly sounds great.
$1250.00 Canadian for one SRM plus $1300.00 for the sub. Maybe for a front of house P.A. but for a Drum monitor??? I've read all the posts on this forum and can't beleive all the hype about these Mackie's. Guess I'll be trying the G2's next but I don't have very much hope any more. 12's, 15's....I don't think so. If you want bottom end plus volume you need 18's. HHMMM where have I heard that before??
