Wel I have just bought a pair of V2's and the shop told me that they have only just started restocking mackie gear, after a 2 year gap. They said that the V1's in grey were great, but when the blue V2's came out, they were returning 1 speaaker from every 2 purchased, so they dropped mackie. They now have a black V2 version which are ok, apparently (I hope so as these are the ones I have just bought) I have used them a couple of times so far and they don't seem to get too hot.
As far as I can make out there is another black vesion but the badges are diidferent, they have they "running man" logo and the Mackie name on, these are also deemed not very good. The one I have V2B just have the "running man" logo at the bottom of the grill, and are supposed to be alot better.
All this info came from the shop I bought them from, so you may have take it with a pinch of salt!
Cheers,
Daren
