Studio monitors - will Yamaha HS80M do the job?

Hi!

This is my first post and I would like to ask for your help regarding the first studio monitors I am about to buy.

FACTS

The monitors will be used with an iMac, for music composition and mixing.
I will work, mainly, with virtual instruments.
I will NOT do mastering on them.

Dynaudio BM5A

Yamaha HS80m 2 failed within 6 months!

So I bought 2 HS80m ... First ampboard fried 6 months ago! Fixed it ($230) now the other one failed! Crap!

I don't know what a f*** to do now. I will probably go and buy KRK rp5(open box 235). And save money to fix Yamaha to sell them.

Are KRK rp5 get the job done? I am afraid that I used to 8" woofer now and will f*** up low end. What do you think?
