This is just a thought, but I get the impression that a lot of stores in the US ( I presume you are in the US), have a return policy on goods that aren't satisfactory, etc.,..........if so, try and get the Mackies on that basis, check them out at home and make sure they are right for you. Otherwise return them and try a different brand.
Also keep any monitor well forward of the wall behind them.

Good luck. :cool:
 
Question all my fine teathered friends

Now, I have a set of Event 20/20s, passive that is. I drive them (funny word for speakers, drive, does that mean I listen to my car) anyway, just a little humor, people get so very serious when their choice of monitor is questioned. Speakers, apparently, are one of the most personalizing items in a studio. A digital this is pretty much like a digital that provided the specs are about the same. At least for the most part. Microphones and speakers. Voices and Ears. The appendages of he brain in the studio, the defining point if you will. So I drive these 20/20s with a Crown DC 150. Its an old amp I traded for a bag of some kinda shit years ago, I don't really remember what that shit was, but...anyway. To be quite honest, I've not heard all the speakers but, as I work with these, the mixes get better and better. They are starting to sound real good on everything. I can tell when I A/B my mix with another mix of generally accepted virtuosity. Now I don't have a million dollar mastering studio to kind of gloss up my mixes but, for the most part, you can get the point. So what would happen if I hooked up another amp I have to these speakers in my studio. I have a Golden Tube power amp on my stereo and I am just curious. The Golden Tube amp may not be the greatest home stereo tube amp but in terms of smoothness, detail, frequency response and general over all sound quality, it is much better than the Crown which, when used with regular home speakers (i.e. Thiel's) the Crown sounds like shit. So, is there a chance that any defficiency or harshness is caused by the amp and, if so, would a non-studio, more-of-a-home-type-amp be an improvment or a hinderence.

Curious to get some opinions before bothering to even go through the trouble of setting this up.

I am inclined to believe that the home stereo amp, or should I say was inclined to believe that such an amp would not give the tpe of sound necessary for tracking, mixing etc. But...I have read articles where major mastering studios use some pretty high end amps more associated with audiophile systems rather than professional applications. So, the question stands...
 
I think I speak for most people when I say 'whuh?'
