After mixing a couple of songs with my 500 series EQ's, I found that the 550A's, on average, are usually the last to get picked for the job. The 550B's and 560B's IMO have more usable frequencies than the 550A's and seem to be more versatile, especially the 560B. I wish I had 4 of those instead. Anyone else feel this way or am I yet to see the potential of the 550A.

I'm the the exact opposite...I have not been in total love with the 550b But the 550A is god to me...usually just makes everything better..the 560 is great for kik drum but i will usually go with the 550A for everything else.
