Neither JBL LSR305 nor Mackie MR524 were recommended by experts this month

On 9 Mar 2024 (19 days ago) we went through 106 Studio Monitor expert endorsements , however neither JBL LSR305 nor Mackie MR524 were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Studio Monitor received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at Yamaha HS8 or other critically acclaimed Studio Monitors of this month.

For reference, Yamaha HS8 received 5 endorsements this month, from Music Critic (7 Jan 2023), Gearank (30 May 2023) Hyperbits and 2 others.
