Wow, and I thought this thread was gonna have at least some decent information. I took the time to read the WHOLE thing up to this point.
I wish RE would keep the existing line up, but just add to it. Let us keep the XXX the same, and have this new RE XXX a new sub alltogether like the MX is. But they are too close to releasing them now to change anything.
As you might could tell, I am a huge suporter of RE. I am not excited about them trying to go all public though. For them, its good, for us, it sucks. And I am just sad that ther are going to override there ever so famous XXX (the most popular line of sub from them). I think it would be much better to keep several different subs available, so people can have a ton of options to match their styles, intrests, budgets, SQL vs SPL, that kind of stuff.
Maybe they will still make an oldschool XXX when I get enough saved up to buy 2 12"s.
Anotherthing I hope from them is a site that is a little more updated, and more often.
And when I call RE, ive only had to try a maxiumum of 3 times to get ahold of them, and ive called them at least 7 times or more (for a specific purpose) Most times I wanted to know sumthin and I called, I got through the 1st time. Never had any problems with their customer service.
There, thats what I think of old RE, present RE, and near future RE.
