MackieMR Series, Studio Monitor 8-Inch with 65 Watts of Bi-Amplified Class A/B Amplification, Powered (MR824)

This is a very nice sounding monitor. Very nice highs and very good bass. Put it all together and it’s a complete package. And a great value for the money.

Excellent. Sounds like a great quality stereo speaker. Enough bass for me without the sub.

Very clean sound. But use it with a stand and proper placements to take full advantage of it. Also be mind full of the distortions and digital noise if possible use balanced cable inputs instead of unbalanced.

Hello I have a couple things to say,I've owned the MACKIE MR824 's ( 8 inch ), for a while now, I am not a pro audio guy, Just average guy who takes interest in audio/audio equipment kinds of things,So what I wanted to say is,These speakers sound really great / clear / accurate / Can be turned up without issue (example some tweeter in other speakers kind of hurts my ears turned up Maybe titanium not sure..) Silk/soft dome tweeters are nice.The main thing is, -I feel, they sound best 2 ways1. (FIRST WAY)- If you're playing at low volume you CAN use them in full range(no crossover etc) and they will sound great, as long as your room is quiet(er) / or silent like no Air Conditioner running in the same room etc,2. (Second way)-(the way I primarily / usually use) use a subwoofer I use a crossover of 70Hz, I read/learned that cutting out the lows, takes the load off your speakers or allows them to play louder with less effort. So not only you get deep bass from subwooofer type Bass, but you can play louder.-----TL:DR :low volume : full range (no crossover) GOOD / Bass still there, (low listening levels)high volume : Set crossover - better overall output, + better sub bass if you have a sub. I use 70Hz crossover.hope this helps.Update: 2022 /(end of) January - SPEAKER CRACKLING SOUND from the speaker box face plate(?) itself :- I've noticed something weird about the speakers, pretty sure when my *edit: ROOM gets super cold or goes hot - cold - hot - cold for reasons, I think face of the speaker makes creaks and cracking sound like from the heat having an effect. it does not happen often, but every so often I'll hear it - Feel like I'm losing my mind a little wondering if I'm hearing it or not(From the speaker box itself) haha, like a tick/cracking plasticky sound. Just wanted to put that in here. I use 3 of the Mackie MR842 now as rear left right and back speaker for 6.2 setup. They're still great speakers for my use.

Very loud and Crisp sound. Better than most of the 5.1 home theaters.
