Good ole' local Guitar Center. They didn't have any of the ZED models on display or in stock. My buddy salesman told me they don't carry any ZEDs they just special order them. When I asked about the R16 he told me he had never heard of it. He only knew and sold all other ZED models except the ZED R16. He asked all the other employees and neither knew it existed. He looked it up and was blown away by all the features. And the other salesmen were shocked as well. I made a special order and have been waiting ever since. According to him it shows that it will arrive Nov. 11th.
Now do understand I also bought accessories such as cables, stands, a couple of condensers, and a workstation. But the receipt shows the ZEDR16 as $2,691.00 with tax included. Guys this thing has alot more to offer than the Yamaha series I compared it to. Its worth every penny. Now patiently I wait. Of course there are better consoles out there but I don't have 10k laying around under sofas and chairs.
