I'm far from an expert, but I have delt with the folks at ProMax for a while now and they seem committed to providing only products that work. I have basicall the same set-up they are now selling and the Firemac Studio, only I bought mine a while back with a Media100 QX. I have been very pleased with the capabilities of the equipment, and unlike a previous respondant, I don't think you can do better that Premier 5.1.(posted 9234 days ago)
