Many thoughtful features

I am using these speakers to replace a set of computer speakers that were in use for quite a long time. There were two small satellite speakers and a subwoofer on the flooe.

I have a set of mid-priced studio monitors for my home studio and was not expecting these speakers to have the same specifications. However, I am quite pleased that they have exceeded my expectations.

There are a number of thoughtful features that make the monitors easy to use. I didn't expect to use the Bluetooth connectivity, but I did connect to the laptop via Bluetooh and used the RCA inputs for a turntable. So no need to repatch when I want to listen to my LPs. While there is a master power switch in the back, there is also a volume/on-off switch in front where it is easily accessed. There is also Bluetooth button, which doubles as a pilot light to remind me when the speakers are on. There is also a headphone jack, which I haven't used.

I haven't done a lot of critical listening on these monitors yet. My old set of speakers had a subwoofer, but I don't feel these speakers are lacking in low end response. So far, the LPs sound good (I got a Pyle preamp with a grounding screw so I no longer have to deal with that nasty hum). I've had some chamber music on as well, which had a nicely balanced sound with good detail Most of my serious audio work is done on a different computer, but these monitors will work nicely for comparison.

The speakers themselves are a little large and imposing on my computer desk. I could wall-mount them if I cared to.

All in all, a well-designed set of monitors good for many applications.

These speakers work as described. A perfect choice for a home studio
by Keat Murray on

Work great for large spaces too!

I bought two pair of these for two roughly 30'x 20' dance studio rooms and I am THRILLED. They put out enough sound (even low end) for the entire room with ability to push even further if the situation calls for it. For the money, these are about the best you can get for providing audio in a dance studio setting.

I cannot recommend these speakers enough!

Was originally looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers to play records through. My musician friends directed me to spend my money on studio monitors instead. Finally decided on Mackie because I know they make high quality products and these seemed to have better lows than other brands based on the versus videos on YouTube.

Some of the negative reviews had me worried, but I've had my speakers for over a week now and I don't have a single complaint. There is no feedback as some people have reported and I've had no problem connecting my Android device to Bluetooth either. I was worried the 5's wouldn't be loud enough, but they are louder than I will ever need. Decided to get the subwoofer too.

I cannot recommend these speakers enough!
