      REVIEW - Speakers can vary wildly in terms of sound profiles and quality.  While I'm no audiophile (speaker snob), I do appreciate a nice set of monitors. Read more

                In summary, the Mackie CR3-X speaker has a 3-inch woofer, and its rear bass port is tuned higher than the CR4. Meanwhile, the Mackie CR4-X's woofer measures 4 inches, making it way better when it comes to bass response.Jun 9, 2022
