Subject:RE: B4/SRM450 top octave EEK!

Sorry, but I'm one of the rare guys here who DOESN"T
like the SRM450. I had to use one for a month-long
tour, and I really grew to despise it. My XV88
sounded pretty bad through it, and my Motif/Electro
combination, while better, wasn't anything to get
excited about. The 450 was also another factor in me
moving to in-ears. My Motif doesn't seem to be bottom
heavy to me through my Yorkville, or through my studio
monitors, or my in-ears...so don't trust the eq curve
of the Mackie.
