That's a bit confusing, as the Mackie monitors I've heard
(624 and 824) sound nothing at all like the old Yamaha NS10s.
The Mackies have good bass extension and a reasonably accurate
midrange. The Yamahas had no bass extension and a strongly exaggerated
midrange. <rant>It's a good thing Yamaha finally discontinued the NS10 or

I did kinda like the older Event 20/20p for the price, I
haven't heard the new models but historically they've made some nice
bang-for-the-buck systems. The only thing I didn't like about the
20/20 compared to the Mackie 624 was a hint of "plastic"-sounding
resonance in the midbass, and a very slightly harsh treble that might
be annoying after a long day of mixing. But I could certainly get work
done on it, and the price is/was a heck of a lot lower.
