Congratulations! That's a highly-acceptable rig for your target market. If you've got the contacts and the business management skills, that gear should earn you decent money for a half-decade to come.

I'm quite happy with it. Except for one thing. After mixing on 850s, I don't want to go back to anything else.
That said, I don't want to piss on your parade, but kvelling about never again wanting to mix through anything other than KF850, ever again, is quite premature.
The latest release, KF850EF, still puts a good many boxes to shame, however, the basic design dates back to 1985, so KF850 is quite dated when compared to the newer hi-q KF750 and its Nexo and ElectroVoice competition (just to drop a few names). The plethora of line arrays brought to market in the last five years also figures into the equation, and thus the toll has been exacted on the acceptability of KF850 at the mid-sized regional and larger markets.
However, your new FoH sysetm is double the size of my personal rig, so....congratulations again. Go make money! And rock on!
Best regards,
Tim ==
