New TMP. Fender FR or Studio monitors?

I like using TMP in stereo. A pair of Yamaha HS5’s would be great, or a pair of FR10’s if you want amps. The larger in speaker size you go, the more low end will be perceivable and accurate to what’s actually happening on the TMP. Make sure you set the TMP outputs to Line when using studio monitors

Why do people say Yamaha HS5 (or the entire HS series) is uncomfortable to listen to?

Not much upper mids but rather highs and, well, middle mids (~1 kHz) https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?attachments/yamaha-hs5-studio-monitor-powered-speaker-cea-2034-spinorama-audio-measurements-png.46443/ And their FR is indeed quite flat but unlike both most monitors and consumer

Why do people say Yamaha HS5 (or the entire HS series) is uncomfortable to listen to?

Yes. But the HS5 does have a boost around 1khz. Which compared to a speaker (or headphone) which has a more neutral mid-range response could make them seem a bit shouty. And they're a little bit too flat. People tend to perceive speakers (even studio monitors) that have a little bit of tilt in the f

YAMAHA HS8 vs ADAM AUDIO T8V SHOOTOUT

Recently I re connected with an old friend and turns out he now does music production and recording like myself. He was showing me his home studio and I help him set it up and re wire the whole thing. My main concern with redoing the studio was nailing his speaker placement. He has HS5s and I use T8

Question about speakers placement :

Below are the Klippel vertical contour measurements for Yamaha HS5, it shows the variance of frequency response if you go above or below off-axis from the twitter driver. If you're using it sideway, it will act as horizontal contour. The general response is pretty normal for conventional twiter abov

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

Setup

Opa! Só um detalhe técnico: a Yamaha HS5 também é ativa! O setup atual tá rodando com o Toca-Discos -> Pré Valvulado (Fosi Box X4) →>Interface PreSonus -> Caixas.O resultado sonoro ficou animal. O som ta bem mais aveludado e o pré tá entregando um grave muito gostosinho e presente, tudo bem equilibr
