Yeah, we had some 824's and 1032A's doing a/b testing in the studio at the weekend and I can the Mackie 824's sounded quite lovely, remarkably similar to the Genelec's in fact which cost about twice as much.

Also proved that the problem in the other studio was the converters in a Yamaha digital desk and not the speakers after all. Avoid cheap digital desks!

PS. Anyone want a cheap digital desk?
