Can anyone explain why this has such a poor rating here?


Yes, I would also like to know why the poor rating... AFAIK there is no difference in sound and function between the MK I and MK II. The MK I currently has 4.14 in rating...


It's only voted by 4 people. This means nothing.


Not enough 'sex appeal', I suppose. It's sort of plain-looking, doesn't jump out at you, isn't festooned with knobs and jacks and lights...none of which, frankly, it needs anyway. And really, I'd rather have a rackful of sleepy-looking stuff that can tear peoples' heads clean off instead of some sort of control-panel acid nightmare/fever dream that looks great but sounds....eh.
