Lexicon MC-12 and high end processors, you pay for the name.

I find interesting that the high end people banned you, How about Classé do they also use other people's board and son on.

I guess they didn't like the fact that you were telling them that they had over paid for their processor

Lexicon makes an excellent processor. If you can get to demo it at a dealer, that would be even better. Also, the Integra DTC 9.8 is a great preamp/processor for the money as well.
