Hey GuitarGuy:
I'd love to hear the results of your comparison. I've been debating a pair of M3s VS. Mackie 824s for awhile now.

There's the argument that tells me I can't go wrong with the Mackies.... and another that tells me the Axiom M2s would be a bit more accurate than the M3s. But the truth is, I've heard so many great things for so long about the M3s that I'm just dying to get a pair to have around the house!
