Thanks, Larry, as always, for the lead!

I had a set of these (or their predecessor model) back in the early 2000s that I used with Sonar.   I think I bought 'em off a recommendation from the  old Pro Rec  site and sold 'em when I moved at the time.   Does anybody still use these speakers and what do they think of them these days?

Found this SOS review of the current generation.  Seems they are much different than my old HR824s.  The final paragraph gives me the info that I was looking for:

             "For my money, the Mackie XR824 punches well above its price, but it is parachuting into an area of the market where there is some pretty tough, well-established competition to overcome. Should you be considering the purchase of a pair of monitors at around this price range, the Mackie XR824 is more than worthy of consideration."  https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/mackie-xr824
