I purchased these back in the fall of 2011 and am so glad I did. I had a beaten up old pair of M-Audio Bx5s that were slowly diminishing in sound, so I decided to go find a better set of small studio... read more [+] monitors for my small at home studio. I tested many other small speaker monitors along with these at many different stores. I was trying to stay in the $500 or less range so I had many options. When I first tried these Mackies out I could instantly tell the difference in quality. They have great low end and fantastic stereo imaging. I have enjoyed these monitors very much for the past few months and for only about $400 max for a pair. Great price, great product, great sound! close [-]
