I think it's mostly the room they're played in. Mackie 824s can put out a huge amount of bass down to below 40 Hz. So in most rooms, with no bass traps, the low end can seem muddy, boomy, and out of control. But the speakers themselves are quite flat and have little ringing and very low distortion. That's my take anyway.
