I first experienced these speakers (the MK1 version) at a friends house. My initial impression was that they were too heavy on the Bass end. Over time however I have warmed to them very much. We now have 3 pairs of the MK2's at my place of work. I find the separation on these to be quite stunning even at close quarters. The very final trails of a huge Reverb come sparkling through in a mix and the Bass is pretty gut thumping. To me, these are like listening to a very big, very expensive and very well controlled concert rig in a small room. They are to my ears literally stunning. Monitors are of course to each and every taste, some will like them, some won't but these are a grower. I first wrote them off as being unusable due to the massive bass impact but then I guess like any speakers, you learn their sound. Somebody mentioned Genelec's and I have to say I've used them and they didn't cook for me. These babies are, for the money a seriously decent pair of Monitors. I'm scoring them a 7.

Ive noticed the comments on this review site and from reviews of others..such as this speakers are not flat etc...This speaker ain't no ordinary monitor..You may notice imperfection in mixes cause you have to look at room acoustics..People automatically think these will sound amazing and when they put them to the test they don't sound flat ...A lot of people buy expensive speakers thinking ohh this will do the trick..No .You will have to look into room acoustics etc...The monitors need some care to get the perfect performance and sound in your room..I have bought them and had to go through it...And with some work to the room some time and money these speakers sound Phenominal...Amazing low end great flat sound....Think first before you buy them...If you have money to buy these speakers and another 800 bucks for room acoustics i say buy them...You will not be disappointed

After reading some of the comments here remember me of Ian Terry who teaches me :"learn your speakers!" I made terrible mixes with top-of-the-line Genelec speakers, and great mixes with my old home speakers. I really wonder if the people who rated the 824's under 5 tested them before they bought them.
When I bought them, I tested every music style possible(from my own library of course), and I compared them to a couple of other speakers they had in the same price range. From my opiniom, the 824's are a great compromise.
However, like any new speakers, it took a while to get used to them, (the low end is present, but very confortable, or colored if you want. This is why my first mixes sounded boomy). I still used them a lot along with my ns-10's, and they serve me well.

The 824's are very impressive sounding near fields and are quite affordable. I have been mixing on them for about a year now and they do take getting used to as reference monitors. I have listened to them with some of my favorite "sounding" music as a starting point to my mixes, and I have noticed that the mid-range frequncies need to be significantly boosted to reflect a more realistic flat response. Overall, I do like them a lot.
