For someone in the business you sure are not on top of the game...
Some facts for you..The 802 with an 8" speaker has a larger 50 ounce voice coil compared to the 30 ounce on the Mackie 350, and the 802 has a inch and 3/4 HF driver compared to the Mackie's inch and a 1/4..
And to correct another of your in accurate statements..Th Mackie 350 is 165 watts for woofer and 30 watts for HF driver,,a total of biamped ..195 watts....The 802 is 200 watts...Mackie loses in a lot of comparisons...I would suggest you try something before condemning a product that you have zero info ....
I mentioned a long time ago, I liked Mackie..so I am not slamming them...but I am illustrating by comparison what these guys can do...including kicking Mackies butt...
Noi Im am not on top of the game where people are using Computer Speakers for professional gis. I missed that revelation and contemporary invention.
Fran with all due respect there is no such thig as a 50 oz "Voice coil" (Numbers don't mean anything though, your words)12 "speakers usually demand large magnets of the larger mass of the cone and voice coil structure. In large big speakers, the voice coil may be 2" or more in diameter. IN your case the size of voice coil is not even mentioned only the magnet weight.Large magnets allow the speaker coil to be placed a deeper in the magnetic forces which makes the voice coil travel over a longer range allowing for MORE cone travel moving more air for MORE VOLUME, not DEEPER bass. Big magnets LOUDER sound THATS what I think you are noticing and loving so much. However adding weight is routinely used to fool the consumer as well. The ole "Weight = Qualty" syndrome. I have to wonder how larges in that voice coil......Like a large diaphragm mike the larger the better
The larger the voice coil and especially cone the SLOWER the driver moves. Drivers that reproduce 30HZ HAVE to move at an extremily slow speen. Not something capable of an 8 or even 12 " cone" .
