OVERALL OPINION

Want to change to k & h ...

I appreciate this monitor for precision tweeter. I turned ver product for the price / quality ratio. I use it for mixing, coupled with a 01V96VCM.

SOUNDS

There is a hollow in the high-mids and a bump in the treble. The overall sound is clear and precise. The stereo image is restored, and the dynamic is good.

OVERALL OPINION

I use these monitors for over 5 years. I also work with Genelec, Focal and K & H.J 'appreciates the precision tweeter. I find the value for money very interesting.

At the time I had left on the HS50 which had its mouth (the logo is lit all), which are compact, which fell within my budget and had good reviews in the press. But once in the store, the seller made me listen to HS80 (malignant) and direct the bass that I missed were there. This was my first pair of monitor so not too Reversing ...
I enjoyed EQ settings and especially the bass compensation when monitor is against a wall, very useful for the home studio which is usually compact.

SOUNDS

With hindsight and years, I think the low end lacks a little définissions so be careful at low (see below) which can be rotated once a hifi listening which tends to amplify these frequencies.
In contrast dynamics and stereo are good, even if I do not have much comparison ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have 6 years and I'm thinking seriously about changing to go to the Adam. These are good monitors proximity but because my home studio instead evolved into the studio with amateur governed, they show their limits due to the remoteness and the requirement. In addition, adjustments to the rear with the power button are not practical.

To conclude, this is a good pair of monitor with a very good value to start over, but it is a little specialty Yamaha.

I chose these monitor speakers after listening to the dealer.
I wanted to test the yamaha because I kept very good memories of NS10,
and for use in home studio pretty basic, like me, this is pretty good

SOUNDS

The sound is pretty accurate overall with a slight lack in bass frequencies at low volumes.
Good momentum, but its a bit flattering nonetheless.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for 3 years, after using Mackie, Genelec and Yam NS10.
My first choice would have been Genelec again, but not the same budget.
Value / price very satisfactory overall.
I think they really stand out clearly in the same price range (there 3 years)
Unless it is out of better things since I certainly would do this choice with respect to the budget. The best is still to check with a good dealer and compare all the models in stock, armed with a cd that we know well to make his choice.
