Yamaha HS5 Powered Studio Monitor

Worth every dollar. You'll hear exactly what is being played. No sauce. Listen to Dark side of the moon with these.

Wow, ich bin völlig überrascht von diesem klaren Sound!!! Ich dachte bisher das meine alten Studioboxen gut waren - ABER die sind ja richtig Schrott - kein Vergleich zu den Yamaha Monitor, denn diese sind klasse. Man hört wirklich jede Einzelheit und so klar!! Ich bin froh das ich diese gekauft habe denn nun macht es nochmals viel mehr Spaß die Musik abzuhören, mixen und zu mastern!! Danke bin rundum zufrieden!!!

These are real studio monitor speakers and also very large and heavy. People looking for multimedia speaker should keep away from this. Build and design- suberb manolithic design and build is rock solid. Accessories- only power cord. Sound-They have nearly flat sound with bright mids, smooth highs with light tight bass. Mids- Mids are bright thin sounding. They reveal suberbly. But they are unpleasant to listen for long duration. If you increase volume to get bass punch the mids becomes too bright and powerfull which causes ear fatigue. So low to moderate volume is best. Nealy 60 to 80db.. more then that it causes ear fatigue within short time. Highs- Highs are suberb smooth and refined. They are not as harsh as other monitors. Bass- Bass is of very high quality and precise. But they lack quantity compared to other 8 inch monitors. This is a blessing because this speakers can easily used in moderate to large rooms. With some room treatment it can also be used in small rooms. They do not push too much air or create high pressure like multimedia speakers. So bass do not compromise other sound frequencies. Everything sounds crystal clear across the freq range. For most people woofer is not required. They cover lows till 40hz easily. But for people who want to work on bass part very accurately like in back ground score or bass heavy music they may need woofer. And also these speakers needs some volume to give out bass accurately. So people who work on projects for many hours a day, may need accuracy at very low volume to protect their ear, may need woofer separately. Soundstage/Imaging- Imaging is very good and accurate. But placement of the speakers and room is very important to get clear image. Some experiment is required to get it accurate. Setting: There is volume control, room/low freq trim and high freq trim so that we can easily adjust to our room condition. At this price range these are the most analytical monitors. They can also be used as multimedia speakers but you should have high quality sound files which are also be of high grade recording /mastered. Lastly they are huge and heavy. So decide according to room size or working space. You should keep them atleast 2 to 3 feet away from wall. Two speakers should be separated atleast 5 feet and you should sit in a position which creates equilateral triangle. So if you are into professional sound mixing this will do the job. NOTE: CANNOT BE USED FOR TV's as they are too much revealing which makes sound unpleasant.

Cada oído tiene su propio gusto, en lo personal me gusta mucho Yamaha, es sinónimo de calidad, tecnología y en este caso, excelente respuesta a todas las frecuencias (aún en un ambiente poco controlado)

If you've done your research... you know these are the bees knees at this price point. I've gone through multiple studio monitors over the years and these easily take the cake. Highs, mids, lows all come through excellent.
