The imaging is great!, but the overall sonic picture is pretty "shady" IMO. I can't hear the mids at all on 805's. My problem is that everything sounds good on 'em, and they don't tell me where the "problems" are. The Mackie's are like NS10's on crack to me, and nasty problems are only too obvious. The low bottom on the 824's is pretty weak though, and I'll usually go to the 805's for double checking that area.

Wow, you really suprise me there. I wouldn't even touch a master with HR824s. Id be more than happy to work on the 805's. The mackies just don't sound very serious to me, at least not in comparison to 'proper' loudspeakers. Personally I'd say that the 800 series in general, won't make anything that sounds shite sound good, quite the opposite in fact. One mans meat though....
