IMO you would have to spend around twice the money to find a noticeably 
better speaker than the HR824. I also suggest that if you had twice the 
$$$ to spend you would get a better result buying the Mackie's and 
spending the leftover on improving the room acoustics than putting it 
all into a pair of monitors.
