Ok, so I am in a little quandry. My M-Audio EX66's have blown another tweeter. never again will I replace or buy those again! Temporarily I am using my "little" M-Audio Studiophile monitors to get by until I can get something decent. I have about $1200.00 to for the upgrade.

I just purchase the Yamaha HS 80's and the matching HS 10W sub.
It looks like the connections on the back of the sub your able to connect both monitors
and then go out of the Sub into a stereo channel of the Mackie Big Knob.

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

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?

OMG! OOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGG!
Recieved them today. OOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGG!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. You know...

If Your Mixes Sound Good on These, They Sound Good on Anything

I'm looking into getting some monitors and I have listened to the HS80M's and liked how my CD sounded through them at the store. They seemed to be clear and the low end was pretty good.

What does everyone like about them/why should I purchase these?

What is everyone's complaint with them/is there any reason that I should not purchase these monitors?

Thanks!

Which are considered better?

I haven't heard or used either but have the opportunity to buy either pair for roughly the same price, the Genelec's are slightly more expensive.

What would you pick and why, Yamaha HS80m or the Mackie HR624?

I am shopping for my first set of real monitors that I will use mostly to mix folk/rock and roll. The room that I will use to mix is a 12x16 drywalled room that I have a few thin eggcrate mattress tacked to the walls, so pretty much not really soundproofed at all.

Hi,

I may order a pair to replace my TAPCO s-5's. I want my mixes to translate better. I currently have to remix and play on various systems many, many times to dial in acceptable mix. Room treatment is not an option at this time. The mids and highs turn out ok...the bass/low end is the main problem. Hopefully the 8 inch woofer will help. I do not want to use a sub. Anyone tried the Yamahas?
