Neither Mackie CR4 nor Mackie MR mk3 Series were recommended by experts this month

On 10 Jan 2025 (1 year ago) we went through 99 Studio Monitor expert endorsements , however neither Mackie CR4 nor Mackie MR mk3 Series 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 HS5 or other critically acclaimed Studio Monitors of this month.

For reference, Yamaha HS5 received 6 endorsements this month, from Hyperbits, Gearank (7 Nov 2024) Music Radar (27 Nov 2024) and 3 others.
