I find that a lot of people misunderstand what monitors are all about.
Your monitors aren't supposed to sound good per se. My best mixes, the ones that translate well to every other speaker, sound flat and uniform on studio monitors.
Your mixes should sound good but not too heavy on the low end and not too sparkly on the high end. Think of everything being balanced well.
Your monitors aren't supposed to sound like a club system when you get your mix right. If you want a banging club track you hire someone who masters dance music for clubs or you use your own club system to mix on.
The sparkle is for the mastering engineer. Many people don't realize that mastering is usually what gives tracks that last 10% of professional quality that they waste countless dollars trying to get.
I know this doesn't answer your question, I just think your Mackies are fine. Learn to use them right and things will fall into place. Spend your money on other gear!
