I first bought a Mackie SRM 350 (or 450) but they need to be cranked up LOUD in a massive room or outside to use them, so mine's been sat doing nothing for a couple of years :lol:  The upside of the HR624's is (being high end) I can hear lots of stuff I couldn't hear on my previous set up and the attack is fast. They're neutral studio monitors though, so not the best for my style, but the upside is they don't shake the house after dark. The best advice would be to try before you buy. Yep, that old cliche, but it's amazing how much different a speaker can sound in a different environment. Whether any shops carry demo gear to try at home first though i've no idea, but that's the best way to guarantee satisfaction (at least in the short term until you get used to a new sound).</blockquote>
