#43 Mackie HR824: $1,300 per pair Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Mackie HR824mk2, ranked lower, estimated 4.4/5.
Pros: A classic active studio monitor with an 8.75” woofer, a 1” aluminium dome tweeter and a rear passive radiator, driven by 150W and 100W amplifiers. Measurements show a flat on-axis response (0.25 average deviation) and deep bass, 43.7Hz (-3dB), for a preference score of 6.36 that reaches 7.82 with an ideal subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 43.7Hz (-3dB).
Cons: That data is of unknown quality. Mackie replaced it with the HR824mk2, which is also discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: ADAM Audio A77H - $750 more. Just below it: Genelec M040 - $550 more, 120W less output power.
