Members Chris Loeffler Posted September 14, 2016 Members Share Posted September 14, 2016 I had a chat with Phil about the differences (at least on paper) between the brand new Mackie XR Series monitors and their mkII HR Series. For those interested... Price Point (The XR series will cost you a few hundred less) Less Power Handling (160x versus 250w) Smaller Woofer (in the 800 series, 8" vs 8 3/4") Different Bass Enhancement Approaches (Extended Length Port versus radiator speaker) Wish I could have done a side-by-side, but long story short, the XR was a fantastic value compared to other's I've tried in that price range. Wish it accepted digital. http://www.harmonycentral.com/expert-reviews/mackie-xr824-8-professional-studio-monitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yeah, it would definitely be interesting to hear the two side by side. Maybe I'll have an opportunity to do so at AES. I'll try to do so and will let you know what I think if I can pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
