My Steven Slate VSX experience so far

First I listen on my Yamaha HS8’s. When I first got those monitors, I was blown away by the bass. After this journey, it’s clear to my ears they are near field monitors and only that. It’s also clear I need to treat my room. Since standing wave acoustic interference can create nodes (where lower, re

Studio monitors sound thin compared to headphones

Two things; headphones are never going to be as flat as monitors can be and will always have some form of hyped bass, and the monitors you have struggle with what you're trying to do. HS4's only go down to 83hz, so you're missing all the frequencies in the sub range. Secondly, they're a tiny driver,

Studio monitors for synths AND a stage piano

HS8 can go lower in terms of bass. Only a few hz. For most people, it's probably not even worth factoring in. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/yamaha-hs8-studio-monitor-review.71023/ https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/yamaha-hs7-review-studio-monitor

Home studio speakers

I have a pair of Yamaha HS8 monitors and matching sub. I'm no pro but I love how they sound.

Shout out to this amazing person

You sure youre getting an accurate mix with those Krks? I’m Not knocking your talent I’m just saying. I produce music and I started with Krks, they don’t accurately depict the low end frequencies. It’s mostly mid end and flat/pitchy high end. Yamaha HS8’s would give you a more accurate mix, Unless y

focusrite speakers

Yamaha HS5’s are within budget and a nice sounding set of monitors. If he wants to later on, he could also add the matching Yamaha sub to them for more bass. I use their bigger brothers l, the HS8. Whilst neither the HS8 or HS5 is truly a ‘reference’ speaker (a speaker with a very flat response curv

Tipps for Yamaha hs8

Yamaha HS** speakers are great! But they don't sound good or conventional. They are like the RAW file from a camera. So flat that they sound "bad" compared to a desktop speaker. This makes them good as a reference speaker in combination with other sources like desktop speakers, headphones, earbuds,

Small speakers vs Big speakers

From a loudspeaker design and performance standpoint, it is much easier to get a small speaker to tick the boxes (on and off axis performance, woofer/tweeter integration, and etc.) what is hard to achieve with small speakers is the subjective “wow” factor that can really only come from a large displ
