I do not know ANYBODY who changes their ears when they switch from listening to classical music to listening to jazz or whatever. I know I do not. So why change loudspeakers?

If a loudspeaker is acceptably accurate for one kind of music it should be acceptable for all kinds of music. Let's not complicate this.

I have found the Mackie HR824 to be very detailed similar to the detail presented by a Magnepan speaker, but I have never tried to determine if the servo-feedback controlled Mackie HR824 presents depth anywhere close to the depth that Magnepans produce for Blumlien-recorded music.
