i have these but with a sub as well , im thinking of just using the 624`s myself as i m broke and need the dough so im gonna sell the sub, they dont sound as sweet as the 824`s but are pretty good to my ears and pretty neutral although they maybe a little on the bright side. They are loud enough for home studios for sure ,i have them in a room about 10 feet by 15 feet and they are loud enough easily.
