I haven't boughten monitors or speakers for quite a while. I bought these because they were the most bang for your buck. I thought they would be okay but would need some adjusting or maybe some really good isolators. Well let me tell you these things blew me away from the first hookup. These things are huge and pretty heavy so they feel like quality they even come with isolator pads there's actually four of them I put two together for each speaker. When I first hooked them up I set them directly on the desk and they were boomy. Can't believe they were included and they made a huge difference! Turned them up to about halfway and they were glaring. Turn them up to about 7 and 1/2 and that's too loud I don't want the neighbors getting pissed off first thing! These will keep up with my half stack for sure. Can't wait to get the levels going and jamming to some metal backing tracks. You won't be disappointed. These things are well worth it. And they sound fantastic lots of bass but not too much. Very smart of M-Audio to have the isolator pads in there made a huge difference they sound soooooooooo goooooood!

Mackie CR8-XBT

Good sound quality at a good price, fully balanced and good presentation, this has a powered cabinet and another passive cabinet which makes it more economical and ready to perform the same function.

Mackie CR8

Amazing punch for the price. For around $350.00 you can have a really rocking stereo, all you need is a phone. I found the tweeters to be a touch aggressive so I taped one sheet of facial tissue over them. This brought them perfectly in line.
