Hey,
I had the exact same problems with my Mackies. In retrospect, they are very very difficult to use. Check out an RTA with those things and you'll discover why. There's peaks and valleys all over the place. The low mids and even mids are what I would call veiled.
Yes, they sound great to listen to...in fact, I miss them for that reason. But as far as mixing on them goes, your tying both hands, both ears, and a nut behind your back.
