Mackie CR4-X 4 Inch Powered Studio Monitor Speakers - Professional Multimedia Reference Monitors for Music Production, Gaming & Home Studio Use

I just got these, unpacked the box , and plugged in. First impressions: Very Good. This is a provisional 5-star review, based on very solid and clean sound, and no hiss at all. Many reviewers mentioned objectionable hiss, but I'm not hearing it. (Maybe someone at Mackie read the reviews??)I got these for my small apartment studio mixing desk. It is true, as mentioned, that these don't sound beautiful - but they are not designed for pleasure listening (that's what my Polk pair, as well as Cambridge satellite/Bose sub combo are for). These are for mixing my own recording projects, mostly consisting of acoustic guitars, bass, and vocals. As such, I am looking forward to getting back in the swing of writing and recording - which Covid lockdowns and then open-heart surgery put a halt to a while back. Fortunately I'm healthy now!Wishing everyone Peace in 2022.
