Thank you Sir Raymond. I'm seeing them used from $12K USD on up. The new one's come unloaded for 20K, Half loaded for around 26K, and the fully loaded for #30-32K. This eeks into Origin 16 territory but the origin is still teething and the XL is well established. It's also consistent with their older build setup, whatever that was. I just like the XL better basically, with 44 inputs at mixdown it's perfect to use with a DAW and an X-rack for mic-pres and things. Over here we see 4056E/G's and 4064 XL9000's in the 50's and 60K range. It would be incredible to have one of those jacuzzi console monsters. That's what I'd do, I'd set up a jacuzzi right next to it so my wife and I could get out cuzzi on then just step out of the jacuzzi and start mixing. That's the thing to do. I do have the SSL X-rack but it's gnarly confusing to figure out so I haven't even bought a single card for it after ten years. Those things aren't cheap. The word is you can essentially reproduced a 160 channel 9000 SA console with these things, but that
would be one expensive console. I'd like to have 8 channels with EQ to augment something that needed augmenting with SSL. Since I've had the Burl Mothership it's gotten to the point where the sound quality is beyond what I'd ever heard anywhere in the home arena so I have to look beyond to the higher shelf stuff to be able to keep or else build out a way to have that quality from end to end. They call it expensive if nothing else.
