I've never tried them, but I found a review:

"Makie brings their reputation for high-quality,
well-constructed, and reasonably priced products to the
monitor market with their HR studio monitor series. The
HR824 was designed to give the listener a 100% flat/neutral
sound with a wide frequency response. What does this mean?
For starters the HR824's don't color your sound, what you
hear is exactly what's coming out of your mixing board or
computer. The wide frequency response means for example,
you'll be able to clearly identify every nuance of a bass
note as opposed to just hearing a muffled boom which is the
case with most low-cost studio monitors. Both of these
features allow the user to gain a more realistic idea of how
their music will sound on other systems, a crucial factor in
getting the "right" mix.

Unlike most monitors in this price range the 824?s are THX
certified. THX certification is a spec level developed by
George Lucas to insure sound quality. As with all active
monitors, the built-in amplifiers were specifically designed
to maximize the speakers output.

Mackie invests a lot in the design and engineering of their
products and the HR824's are no exception. You can be sure
you are getting a high-quality professional product at a
reasonable price. Proof of which can be seen in the
extraordinarily large number of engineers and studios that
have incorporated the HR824's into their mix since they were
introduced. Highly Recommended.

? Active self powered (you can plug these directly into your
mixer without an amp)
? Video shielded (you can place these near computer screens)

? 1" Tweeter, 8.75" Woofer
? 100 watt HF, 150 watt LF output
* Flat frequency response (±1.5dB, 39Hz to 20 kHz)
? Balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS, and unbalanced RCA inputs
? Measures 10.5" x 15.75" x 12.2""

cheers again mr Drunken Mastah it looks like i might invest
in these!!!

unless any of you guys can find me a better pair of
monitors!!

im looking for monitors that are good for nearfield work but
they need to be able to handle the bottom end!!!!
and realisticly transfer from project studio to pro studio
to live soundsystem situation!

I reckon you should buy some cheap gigging speakers. If you
don't want it to be "nightclub loud" (you probably don't, I
don't know of any 3kw studio monitors ;-) then you can use
reasonably cheap speakers. Not only do you want to not have
to dismantle your studio all the time for playing out, but
you don't want to take studio speakers out on the road in
case you damage them from turning it up to loud (you may
well do trying to get hose sort of volumes), spilling drink
on it etc.
