    Mackie CR Series CR3LTD - Limited Edition Silver Trim 3" Creative Reference Multimedia Monitors (Pair)

    • But that cheap switch and the probability that it will only get worse is why I'm knocking off 2 stars
    • Had to knock a star off because about a year after I got them they died
    • The sound does crack a little if its turned way up, hence the 4 stars
    • The only reason they lost a star is because the subs aren't powerful enough
    • If they hadn't failed on me so quickly, I would have rated five stars.
    • money- Cabinet made with MDF Wood instead of plastic- Great for gaming/ TV speaker upgrade- Flat frequencyCons- Not as loud as
    • Like most studio monitors the CR3s benefit from a break in period as well as from proper positioning.
    • These speakers have a clear and good high end, but lacks the lows (as to be expected from a smaller speaker)
    • The sound quality was still just as good as when I bought them and they never gave me any issues whatsoever
    • I'm sure basic users would be impressed as
    • However, these speakers don't handle loud volumes well, and whenever a louder than normal track was played or one with heavy bass, things fell apart again
    • If you are on the fence on which size model to get I think I would recommend the 4" as they go down to 70Hz which I feel is an important low frequency not to ignore.
    • and then it should work as you hook it up
    • This is annoying, especially if your best headphones are open-back- Half the time I use the speakers, theydo not work due to a really cheap L/R selector switch.
