Anyone have Mackie CR3 or CR4s? Are they a good upgrade from

klipsche promedia's are 119 at best buy right now, go get them and if you don't like them take them back.

mine are fine for what i need.

If you're looking for a good pair of desktop speakers, the choice should be between the JBL lsr305, the Yamaha HS5 or the Tannoy Reveal 502.

I've been really close to pulling the trigger on the Klipsch ProMedias but I'm curious of the "super clear and crisp" sound of bookshelf/monitor speakers.

Just over my price range and it seems that's just for one speaker a pop. RIP my budget. Maybe someday

It seems there's a gap. Where if you don't have 300+ to spend it really doesn't matter what you get since the quality will be relatively poor anyway.

after some months of searching, reding, getting informed, I decided to buy cr3 model
and....they are fucking great
keep in mind that mackie is a professional brand (I mean, studio stuff, so great sound quality, flat sound) and a good Hi-Fi may suit better for you if you're not an audiophile
these are rock solid, sound quality is amazing, they are worth every cent
I was also looking for presonus ceres 3.5 BT as alternative
pro: design. I like that design, my friends say they are razer like, fuck them.
sound, obviously.
input/output. they have balanced input, rca, front headphones and aux in. all you need
size. they are not so big, will fit on your desk easily

cons: bass frequency are little too much presen
they also can't reproduce bass under 75hz, which is normal for this size speaker
no speaker grill. so you have to be careful

now is up to you. my suggestion is to simply buy them if you have that budget

I'm worried about the overheating amp issues with the CR3 and CR4's

I tried the cr4 before, the bass was pretty accurate, but lacking.
