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

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

I'm 90% there, what else can I get dialed in
They are the best i've heard under 600, definitely a little bit more balanced than something like a yamaha hs5 which tends to emphasize the mids a little bit more. I have a subwoofer as well but it's just for the really low end, the speakers have a surprising amount of low end

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

Surprisingly, antiperspirant Kahf malah lebih efektif di gw dibanding produk MBK, baik yg roll-on maupun bubuk. Suka juga sama baunya huhu. Anyway, sempet nyoba speaker Yamaha HS5, first time nyobain studio-level speaker gara-gara temen ada yg audio engineer. First impression: technically better tha

Speaker system recommendations?
Ok then I think Yamaha HS5 plus the Yamaha Sub is a great option. Super accurate sound!

It all depends on your budget! I mostly recommended these because they are only $119 for a pair. Monitor speakers can go up to the 5 figure mark for one each. Of course, those are only useful if you also have a fully acoustically optimized room. Yamaha has the HS5 and HS8. These also have a subwoofe

Recomendação de caixa de som para Amp Sim.
Pega um monitor da Yamaha HS5, sai na faixa de 4k o par. Toma cuidado quando for comprar pq eles geralmente são vendidos separados. Quantos aos graves ele é um monitor de estúdio então as frequências são mais equilibradas.
