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

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

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

Speaker system recommendations?

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

New To Synth Minilogue XD

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.

Yamaha HS5 or JBL 305P MkII (5”)

Based on measurements, I would go with the JBL s. https://www.spinorama.org/compare.html?speaker0=Yamaha+HS5&origin0=ASR&version0=asr&measurement=On+Axis&speaker1=JBL+305P+Mark+ii&origin1=ErinsAudioCorner&version1=eac

Hello Everyone and merry Christmas! Adam T5V or Yamaha hs5? ( And a subwoofer later)

Good speakers for guitar?

I really like my Yamaha HS5's. I think at a certain point even though it is a "hobby" too cheap is too cheap and you will run into the same issues as you did with the Eris. The HS5's are about $150 each but they sound great and cover the frequency range of the guitar pretty well.
