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

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

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.

They are Yamaha HS5 or HS7 can't tell exactly what size. I have the HS7s and they are not harsh at all. They are extremely flat and amazing for music production. Worth every penny I spent on them.

Kali LP6 V2 not getting loud enough compared to Yamaha HS5 — need guidance
This is not really the case. The Kalis are 80w and Yamaha 70w. Kalis have more broad frequency response and should not sound 40 percent lower in volume. They should actually sound fuller and louder than HS5s. I think its an attenuation issue with the controller. The HS5 are more sensitive but the Ka

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

Kali LP6 V2 not getting loud enough compared to Yamaha HS5 — need guidance
First, put both speakers in the exact same spot and feed the same balanced line. On the LP-6 V2, set the rear gain around 0 dB and make sure the input selector DIP is on XLR/TRS, not RCA. On the HS5, turn the level all the way up for this test; the center detent on many HS models is attenuated, so i
