You may have hit the nail on the head. THey were running through an external mixer and had much more verb than I would have used. I'm not saying my one experience is enough to judge. I think Rick Turner talks highly of these and I value his opinion and experience. Perhaps I was just expecting so much from a $4000 sound sytem verses mine that was roughly half that I was setting myself up for disappointment. Or, perhaps I was subconciously
wanting the system to sound bad so I wouldn't be gassing for a $4000 sound system. And Cake is right, I have heard some horrendous sounding standard "high end" JBL PA systems as well.
