I have to agree I own two Mackie's an older 1604 vlz and the 1640 onyx with 
a fire wire I/O. I am thrilled with both boards, although they were 
extremely slow at developing Vista drivers for the firewire. I use Mackie 
self powered speakers 1801 subs 1530 tops and 450's for monitors and am 
thrilled with those but must say they (the speakers) were made in 
Italy......The new speakers are made in China and have had mixed reviews. 
Having said that, the 1640 was as well made in China and sounds amazing. 
When I can afford to upgrade my sonar5 to7 so I can record with the fire 
wire I'll let you know how it sounds
