>>How are these Mackies on violins? I read somewhere that the Dynaudio had smoother highs. <<

Could be. I've got no complaints about the highs. I think violins are fine. One thing they do we is massed strings--which is something, in my experience, a lot of speakers struggle with. A whole violin section playing in unison can sound really harsh on some speakers.

I'm not sure they're the last word in smoothness or magic, but they do a lot of things right and not much wrong. They're especially good at sorting out complex recordings and making sense of ambience. I've got a couple of distantly-miked piano recordings that never quite made sense to me, acoustically, before I got these speakers; with the Mackies, everything fell into place.

A very good value (by high-end audio terms at least). Nice speakers.
