It’s not a subtle difference the JBL has far more clarity especially in the midrange… depends on what your using them for, if your reinforcement acoustic instruments it could matter a whole lot… neither was EQd though so it’s hard to tell…

Mackie is more mids and sounds a bit louder. JBL has more bass. Hard to tell with the room acoustics playing a part as well, At least to me listening on my old Yamaha HS80s I use for desktop speakers. They both sound great and Im sure both are a great buy. Ive been a big JBL fan ever since I bought 30 of each enterprise grade THX certed JBL horn loaded 18" sub cabs, 15" duel horned cabs, and duel 12" duel horned cabs. Along with a bunch of 8" wedge shape surrounds with the 8" in the center and a horn firing at a 45 degree angle on each side for bipole/dipole dispersion that were for the surrounds, and 20 2U THX amps that powered them from a movie theatre for a steal "almost literally" I paid $7k for all that equipment that was only 5 years old. I felt like I hit the lottery. It was essentially the entire sound system from a small 3 room theatre that a contractor buddy of mine got the job to empty out after the building was sold with everything in it. The owner didnt give 2 shits what was inside and wanted everything inside to go to the dump and the building cleared of everything. My Buddy and his crew were just going to throw away all of that amazing equipment so I paid them the cash (which they were happy about) to let me come in with a trailer and take everything I wanted for giving him and his crew some cash. They didnt care about audio stuff nore did they know what that grade of equipment is really worth. It took 5 trips to the 3 biggest storage units I could find. I even grabbed the kitchen equipment and arcade machines. Sadly the only thing that was taking from the preivous owners was the projectors but I didnt care. I came out with over 100K worth of equipment. Ive been selling it all over the last 5 years and have given my buddy another 10k for giving me the opportunity. Ive sold enough to put a huge down payment on a new home and I still have a good 50% of the speakers. Most is still in storage and some in my own home theatre and a couple friends. While I write this, it still feels surreal.
