Subject:Re: Mackie vs. Barbetta???

I play a Hammond M-3 through a Korg G4 into a Behringer 8-channel
mixer and two Mackie 450s, along with a NanoPiano and a Nord Lead,
and I love 'em!
The 450s sound clean, flat, and louder than I ever need to go.
The Behringer is quiet and does what I expect it to, and at $99, the
price was sure right! I'm happier with this rig than any I've ever
had before. If I'm doing solo casual work, I just plug in a mic and
I'm all set! I love 'em!
