I have a pair of the Mackie CR3 monitors that have the annoying issue where the lovely switch on the back causes one of them to drop out a lot. There is a fix on YouTube that involves cutting a pin, but I'm not convinced this is going to work for my version of the issue. So I guess I'm in the market for a set of powered speakers for my desk. The thing I liked most about these is the ext input on the front that you can run in parallel to the proper L/R RCAs on the back, as it doesn't require switching between sources and allows playback from both my computer and my iPad at the same time, so whatever I get really needs to have this. I know Mackie have a replacement set of speakers that I believe still include this, but if this anything else in the price range (around $100) that's worth looking into, I'm all ears. These are only the 3" versions and the sound is perfectly fine as I run them quiet most of the time anyway.

Ha when I had the space for it all, I used to have a 16 channel Yamaha mixer in my rack. It’s not a life I really have a desire to return to, but a smaller setup is a possibility esp if it doubles up as an interface so I’ll see what options exist. Annoyingly I have a Focusrite interface I bought a few years ago from Reverb that seemed DOA, but I didn’t realise in time. I don’t need anything amazing, I edit video sometimes but it’s all a hobby rather than paid work. I’ve heard good things about the Kantos so I’ll take a look into those and your other recommendations too. There might also be a way of running my iPad into the 3.5mm input on the Mac and see if there’s a way to permanently.
