I have not been a fan of Mackie due to the sound quality of their speakers being not great, but not terrible over the years. My sister had a Mackie 12 channel Mixer short out on her and not work after 3 years. She decided to buy another one though, and loves that one. One thing I will say is that Mackie Speakers seem to be very durable. Especially the older SRM series
The Thump Go 8 is a good sounding battery powered speaker I would be willing to buy if I had a need for it, but already have the S1 Pros and Stageright speakers. I am interested in the Thrash 212 Go because I would not mind having a battery powered 12" Speaker to use as a fill speaker or for better sound at cocktail hours, but I have heard the regular thrash speakers, and the sound quality is not good. I am thinking other speaker manufacturers will soon come out with 10" and 12" battery powered speakers with more and more output power as time marches on. It will soon be a reality for DJs and Bands to use battery powered speakers as full mains.
