YamahaHS5 Powered Studio Monitor

He tenido otros bafles y monitores, entre SONY serie Z, ONKYO, AIWA, YAMAHA S55, COMMUNITY, y mas. Estos YAMAHA aparte de lucir muy bien en blanco, son EXCEPCIONALES. El sonido se disfruta con mucha fidelidad, tanto los CDs como vinilos, que es lo que mas acostumbro. Sobre la potencia, debo decir que superaron la prueba de un evento familar con 100 personas, aunque no son para eso. La música llenó portentosa el lugar con agudos cristalinos y bajos poderosos, hasta recibí halagos del respetable.

Excellent overall tone and sound. Bass is very strong for the size. Good clean sound and the look is amazing if you go for a white on white look.

I have far too much audio gear, including tube this and turntable that, with all the attendant voodoo magic. Honestly, for 98% of humanity, a pair of these 8" Yamaha monitors, teamed with a Bluetooth streaming source—and of course a streaming service like Tidal/Spotify/Apple—is all you will ever need. For streaming, I'm using the Emotiva BTR-1 Virtual Copper™️ Bluetooth System ($80). So the entire system is the monitors, the BTR-1, two RCA cables with TRS adapters, and of course phone, iPad, etc. No CD player, no turntable, no power amp and pre-amp. Nothing more. It just sounds great. Yes, it isn't cheap. At current prices, the Yamahas + the BTR-1 will cost you $1,000. But you are now done. You're in a paradise of music. Today I streamed Monteverdi's "Orfeo," Errol Garner's "Ready, Take One," and the latest from Doja Cat. It all sounds very fine, especially the Monteverdi. The clarity and accuracy and projection of classical music is excellent. I feel bad, because I own many, many thousands of $$$ of super-high-class audio gear. And I CAN tell the difference. But how often are we at that level of "critical listening" ... ? You are all set with this package. btw the word "flat" when describing studio-monitor sound typically means that the response curve is level over the entire frequency range: Low sounds are not boosted, nor are high: All frequencies are created equal. So in theory—and to my ears, in practice—this means reproduced music sounds closer to live music. I live in Manhattan USA, am often in Carnegie Hall and at the Metropolitan Opera. I'd have to say: These Yamaha 8” monitors really do deliver accurate, true-to-life sound. Again: $1,000 for very fine audio is a lot. But you will need nothing more. The entire world, and the entire history, of music is at your fingertips.

These are a brilliant set of honest monitors. I highly recommend for any sound designers or professional music producers.

These monitors have a really flat sound and are great to mix on.
