powered speakers - one man's opinion

["anti:clockwise" <anticlockwise@tensionheadache.org>]

strictly IMHO, here, but...

i've always been of the feeling that speaker preferences are largely a 
matter of individual personal perception.

recommends on monitoring are ok inasmuch as power handling and build 
quality are concerned - but i believe that the only way to know if you 
like 
how any set of speakers sound is to listen to them yourself. hopefully, 
not 
in a listening-room environment totally different from the space you 
commonly make critical descions in!

Hi all,
I am considering purchasing a pair of the Mackie SRM 450's. I've heard 
nothing but good about these speakers. Anyone here have anything negative 
to say about them? Where can they be purchased for $650.00?

Thanks,
Weg

For dual purpose (studio and PA), you can't beat 2 Mackie SRM 450s at $650
each IMHO.
