I just got a pair of the Mackies MR-8, I compared them to the KRK VXT-8 and the new Rokit 8,and while the KRK sounded very nice I really liked the bass on the Mackies better. Especially for the amazing price of $ 500 the pair. I put them next to my Genelecs 8040 and the Mackies are so much more suitable for hearing the bass sounds. Im very happy I got them...I will use the Mackies for drum and bass mixing/jamming and will do final mixes of everything else with the Genelecs. I love this combo so far paired with Central Station
