How to upgrade/optimize my setup?
Start with one solid hub. A usb audio interface with at least two mic pres and extra line inputs solves most of this. look at focusrite 4i4, motu m4, or audient id14 with an extra line input box. Install proper asio drivers. In ableton set 48k sample rate and a 128 buffer and your latency headache d

Compact setups and bright monitoring speakers, bright sound fatigueness
Inline eq would be the easiest and cheapest option. Bypass button is a must so you can swap back to flat without changing all your settings every time. The Yamaha tweeter is intentionally bright for mixing (producing not djing). It's meant to help you catch all the little details you might miss othe

Home office redecorated
Sound is provided by Yamaha HS5 monitors with a Yamaha sub, connected to a FocusRite Scarlett Solo. This is a really nice setup. Good job. Be sure the tweeter is pointed at your ears, actually point both at an imaginary point a foot behind your head, in a triangle shape, for improved stereo image.

HS5 YAMAHA
Veja se vai conseguir coloca-los de pé. Tenho visto muita grnte usando linha Yamaha HS deitado, na horizontal. O fabricante orienta usa-los na vertical.

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

Small room / desk against wall — which speakers/monitors should I buy?
Given your setup (desk against wall, ~10cm from the back wall), the speaker choice matters less than how they handle boundary proximity. Rear-ported monitors can get boomy fast that close to a wall. That’s why something like the JBL 305P MkII is actually a solid choice: they handle close-to-wall pla

Speaker Recommendations for DDJ-FLX4
JBL305p, Adam t5v, KRK Rokit 5 G4/G5 or Yamaha hs5 are all some good options for close range use such as bedroom dj’ing. See for yourself whether you can strike a deal on any of these and you are good to go.

Recommend me speakers with good bass without subwoofer
You're kind of trying to violate the laws of physics, which obviously isn't possible. You say you want good bass without a subwoofer (absolutely possible), but also want small speakers. You've got to give one of those up. Do keep in-mind that the performance of a set of speakers is extremely depende

Kali LP-6, Kali LP-8 or Adam D3V?
You can get what you want with minimum 5" drivers or with Adam d3v, iLoud Micro, Genelec 8010 paired with a subwoofer. Both solutions will receive a significant upgrade through a sw for room correction. Kali LP- 6, Adam T5V, JBL 305P or Yamaha HS5 are great monitors but they are made to perform at t

best studio monitors
Go for 5" monitors if you have a small space as bigger isn't always better. I've never heard Yamaha, and even less so KRK, used in the same sentence with the phrase "best studio monitors" but they do offer decent budget options (e.g. HS5). Adam Audio T5V is a good alternative to the HS5. I haven't t
