Great Monitor: If they work

I bought a pair recently and right out of the box the tweeter on one of them does absolutely nothing. No sound at all. I switched cables, moved from channel to channel and the amplifier does not seem to be working on the highs. The low frequencies were also very weak. I got a bum monitor. I will be returning it for a replacement that is the same because the one that does work sounds excellent. I just can't see how a company like Mackie could miss something like this. Usually, if you buy anything Mackie you expect the utmost in quality. Disappointing.

BUZZING SOUND

I got one of this (mackie mr8) and when I hook up everything, mixer(mackie), stage(roland rd300sx)piano, pro mic and roland td-6 sound awesome, perfect sound that I've been looking for, it blows me away and satisfied me. The only problem I encounter is, when I am playing I here buzz and thought its just the set up, but when I removed the xlr connection and just leave the power on, nothing is connected just the power to test it, it's freak me out I still hear the buzzing sound, I turn down all the volume at the back of the cabinet the buzz still there, I put my ear in the cabinet and the buzz is inside the cabinet, I'm confused that time, so what I did I hook up mixer alone and turn up the volume up the middle and the buzzing sound is going up to, so to check this I went the other store and buy another one same mackie mr8 to test and compare, and when I plug the new one it freaks me out again they make buzzing sound without anything connected to them. I a'm going to return this and and might get a new one but different brand I think..
