I don't know about the 41, but I have a 32c and it's definitely not as clear
and clean as my Mackie SRM450. I *wish* the Mackie had the preamp/mixer of
the 32c.

Anyway, I am fairly confident the Mackie will make a better impression
dispersion and frequency wise. I put the Mackie up on a speaker stand and it
gets "out there" and sounds great. I put the 32c up on the same speaker
stand and it didn't sound as good. I think the Barbetta needs to be placed
more like a combo amp, on the ground tilted up or maybe on a chair.

As for the ease of placing the Pro3 on top, I've heard someone here say they
do it. Maybe secure it w/a strap?

I would weigh sound quality, size and weight over its performance as a
stand. You can always use an X stand for the MS
