MR624 : Love at first sound

I have been looking for a pair of monitors predominantly for listening purposes and occasional mastering at home studio. After extensive research and comparison I have ruled out the Yamaha HS series (seemed a bit too "flat" for my taste and use cases) and considered the "enhanced" sound of the JBL or KRK to be not quite what I was looking for when it comes to sound analysis. Mackies on the other hand sound very balanced, in my opinion. Tight and confident lows especially for certain styles like trip-hop or jazz (maybe consider the 8' version or a sub if you need a bit more of that low-end), and the highs are wonderfully bright and crisp. Sometimes maybe even too crisp and that is when the high frequency cutoff could be useful. Nice design and solid build quality. The depth of the "stage" is fascinating even on low volume levels. And though I would not say that the response is strictly flat yet within their class these monitors hit very sweet and comfortable spot for mastering. Would definitely recommend, if you are looking for a more "balanced" and versatile sound.
