It's All a Matter of Perspective
Audiophiles are the worst. “I just want to hear it the way the artist intended.” Go buy some Yamaha HS8’s and a decent dac, done. That’s what they probably referenced them through.

Anyone else tired of budget monitors self-destructing due to planned obsolescence?
Yamaha HS8 was the answer. Mine have been working flawlessly

Listening at home 🔊
A pair of Yamaha HS8’s about 2ft from each ear, and not even loud, just normal listening level they’re so so good.

Studio monitors sound thin compared to headphones
Two things; headphones are never going to be as flat as monitors can be and will always have some form of hyped bass, and the monitors you have struggle with what you're trying to do.

Yamaha HS8 with 8 years of use or a newer used KRK Rokit 7? I’m unsure which one to choose.
How new is newer? FWIW I’ve never had trouble finding service/repairs for a Yamaha HS8. Def better off w a broken HS8 than a broken Rokit 7

What’s a mixing habit in Ableton you had to unlearn to finally get better results?
I second that. When I switched from 30€ speakers to okay-ish monitors (Yamaha HS8) and played around with an equalizer I was "oh.. fuck.. I can actually hear the changes".

My Steven Slate VSX experience so far
First I listen on my Yamaha HS8’s. When I first got those monitors, I was blown away by the bass. After this journey, it’s clear to my ears they are near field monitors and only that. It’s also clear I need to treat my room. Since standing wave acoustic interference can create nodes (where lower, re
