My father passed and had a ton of synth equipment
Firstly, I’m sorry for your loss. I sincerely hope you’re able to make a home yourself for as much of this equipment as possible. The Mackie HR824 powered speakers, for example, are some of the best ever released in that price range — easy on the ears, bass is low and tight, plenty detailed enough.

The bulk of the value here is in the modular gear. Finding one buyer to take it will likely take awhile unless you deeply discount the whole system. Parting out each module/cabinet will see it sell faster. Just look up the retail on synthesizers.com for each module and cabinet - ask 70% of that. You

Hardware you simply can't do without?
Sure, I used to use a pair of Mackie HR824 MK1's as my main monitors for years as I knew them very well, they sounded great and have a great low end. I would almost always get the low end right on my first mix but the mid range didn't always translate well to other sources. It took more work then it

home recording
Lots of home recording here. Constantly recording projects and dance scores and voice work in my home studio. (an example, https://ongoingbox.bandcamp.com/album/hsob070-watererer-nearly-there) I use Reaper as the DAW. It's always been very cheap and very flexible. It works well with Dell computers t

Editors, What kind of speakers are you using to mix audio with.
I still use mackie hr824’s (mk 1’s) with everything set flat. I’ve used them for years and when I have to mix in house, even for broadcast, I’ve never had a mix kicked back. You can find them used in your price range.

*UPDATE* KEF Demo Disappointment
said all I wanted to say... They like show room presenting speakers and that is totally valid... no need to do all the extra stuff. Mackie has had some decent to great monitors like the MR624, MR824, HR824 MK2s. I have zero experience with the Mackies he has listed though

Bought a JBL LSR310S and so stoked!
It doesn't surprise me that people would leave JBL for that reason. Same thing happened with AKG when Harman bought them (and so they went across the street and created Austrian Audio). Kalis sound fine, too. I don't know if having any serious conversation about this $300 monitor vs that $300 monito

Why do people say Yamaha HS5 (or the entire HS series) is uncomfortable to listen to?
Because that's the philosophy carried over from the NS10's. If you can get your mix to NOT sound like s*** on them, your mix will translate well to every other speaker. In reality, NS10's were a failed bookshelf speaker, and Yamaha ended up giving them away to studios all over the world. Producers u

Is it safe to leave audio equipment on 24/7?
My Mackie Monitors HR824 have been powered on virtually nonstop since 1997. No issues. They have a sleep mode, but I don't use it.

Anyone else tired of budget monitors self-destructing due to planned obsolescence?
Tannoy PBM 6.5 and C-8 from the early 90's. Still going strong and flawless. The modern production of entry level monitor is pure crap made in PRC. Stay away from these. Mackie HR824 were rock solid, also any Tannoy system 600 or 800 with coaxial tweeter is a good option. JBL 42xx and 43xx are of co
