    Mackie Studio Monitor, Black w/Green Trim, 3-inch (CR3)

    • Sure, the low end is lacking a bit, but I have a subwoofer to fill that out
    • The amp hums a bit, too
    • The green trim betrays a little bit that they are designed primarily for play back from a
    • LED is a bit lame and loud and washed out.
    • A bit muddy, and don't have much punch on the low end.
    • All of the wiring can be a bit messy and slightly difficult for basic users, but can not be beat for this price
    • they hit well within and a little bit out of their league.
    • Packaging was simple enough, two speakers, cables, and (thankfully) a couple of foam stands/"feet" to isolate them a bit.
    • The bass makes my desk shake a bit and that is awesome
    • I was not happy with these speakers one little bit.
    • A little bit "tanky" and "muddy".
    • Lows are missing a bit but everything else sounds real balanced.
    • I wanted something smaller and a bit more intimate to put into my living room for listening upstairs
    • my only issue is that the passive speaker was defective in some way, it was a bit quieter and sounded vary muffled compared to the amazing sounding powered speaker
    • and I am not disappointed the least bit
    • they are worth the money and a bit more than they cost
    • Lacking a bit in the mids but good grief these are awesome for the price buy now while you still can I use them now with a line 6 amplifii tt table top guitar
    • I was a bit skeptical about the overall sound that could be produced by such small speakers even after reading all of the great reviews...keep in mind we're talking about a little 3" woofer.
    • Most small speakers at this size have a tendency to sound a bit harsh, and these are enjoyable to listen to for an extended period of time
    • These monitor speakers were cheap and lasted quite a bit, but I would suggest buying some higher-end models if you can fork out the money.
    • A small self powered 8" sub would round these out just a bit and would blow away any box-set computer speakers I've heard.
    • On my set, the switch in the back is a bit loose, so it flips into
    • The only complaints I read when I was searching for speakers was (a) They didn't have enough bass and (b
    • was too loud b/
    • , etc.)For studio monitors they aren't completely transparent and don't have a razor flat frequency response, but if you already have good ears and experience with recording then these are great "B" monitors or primary monitors if it's for home recording and demos, etc
    • 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
