The passive design makes it easy to set up, and I really like that there is a front aux input for quick access in case a visitor wants to play something from their device

Bright, clear sounds, and thoughtful design of the hardware

I really appreciate the thoughtful design - a large volume knob accented by a lit green ring (which is admittedly a bit garish), along with an auxiliary input jack and headphone jack right on the front

Loved the design so much, that I ordered it here to see if I would be satisfied with the sound quality

the design and style is very clean

Love the design and sound

The design is clean

The green is super cool and the design is modern and looks great in my office

Nice design , and i like how they connect to my soundcard

Design and flexibility:Fantastic

There are some well-regarded 'faux-monitors' in this price range (M-Audio AV40, Alesis, Akai RPM3), so the diligent buyer will compare, but Mackie is a good brand and these are probably on par with the others (I've not used the others so I can't comment directly).The design is good, with simple, direct inputs and controls (a slightly longer power cord would have been welcomed, though)

Elegant sound and design

Design is very good, heavy

Solid base, good treble, good design

Worth the money, sleek design, A+ for the forward facing volume knob and aux/headphone input

and I really loved the design of Mackie

The design is clean and the cabinets are made from wood, not plastic

These monitors have a sleek design and sound great

The design is beautiful to look at; it is compact and has a small footprint compare to the unattractive, heavy and bulky M-Audio line

Solidly built, excellent sound, all the I/O options you need, they come complete with cables, sound insulating pads, and have a nice option to "flip" the powered side to left or right
