That is a REALLY good deal. I had a Mini 8-8-10" and sold it to a friend for $1100 (that was a good deal) so I could buy a Mini 15". I play through my friend's 8-8-10" whenever he invites me up on stage----he runs the line-out to the PA, and it sounds BIG. It's very responsive to dynamics---- if you hit it hard it sounds like it's about to blow up.
