Too quick on the "send" button... Having said that, I didn't mean to imply I was endorsing their use for that purpose. Frankly, even as many good reports as I've heard about the Mackie SRM450s, I still cringe at the thought of trying to use any PA speakers for studio monitors. I haven't personally heard these Mackies, but I have a hard time believing they'd have the detail to do a good job for that. Perhaps as a 2nd reference, to check bass levels or impress your clients with how loud you can get things, but not as a primary monitor. For small studio monitors, I use an older pair of Tannoys. I've used the Mackie 824s a little bit and they seemed like something I could work easily on. I also keep a pair of Yamaha NS10s that I can switch to, to check for midrange problems, but I don't mix on them.
