Subject:Re: Mackie vs. Barbetta???

Hi, I had terrible luck with the barbetta. When it arrived, it was
way noisy and returned it to Sweetwater at once. The amp was
destroyed in shipping and even though I insured it, it took 5
months and lots of paperwork to get my money from the post
office (Sweetwater has and is great). Listen to Hagler, he is right
about the Mackie SRM 450. I took his recomendation and have
been very happy with this amp.
