Value For Money : Excellent
I have long hesitated between the MR8 and Yamaha HS80M on paper but which could not try them.
The balance has tilted side Mackie for several reasons: price, yamaha certain tests that began by saying that at the start you had a slight hiss and amp in class A / B NR8.
Once the bugs received the first surprise was that there is no volume knob on the speaker (only one set of input that would normally be fully mode sysmétrique 4db +).
Time for me is when my eyes! So I add 123 euros for a controller monitoring SM Pro Audio M-Patch 2 and arrived at a similar price to the Yamaha with a volume knob.
But frankly I do not regret it! Why? Bah! In practice even with the yamaha, without controller galleys Because you are the knobs on and behind each speaker and more so to change your level gymnastics hello. It is important to know that I am plugged directly into the soundcard symmetrical and therefore no mixing desk (if you got more problem).


SOUNDS

Now its level, the only elements of comparison are my "Cabasse Dinghy 222" connected to my NAD Hifi who just let go! But hey! Just to say, I rediscover the mix and really made the gear pre-quoted and CDs in all genres that sound spatialization death with a very precise and easy to hear distinctly hallucinating all sounds. The bass is there too and I'm still not right correction (correction of room at the back on bass and treble).
Because a control test point no comparison made mag.


OVERALL OPINION

In brief, this is only my LOVE!! And I think I did well to go on rather than MR8 MR5. More bass and a good reserve of power (interresting when sending you a backing track to play the drums:))
The value for money is really at the top (to see the test that is already talk of a good value for money when the price was 660 euros a pair now 370:))
