HS8

This is some amateur shit. I smuggled a Push 3 Standalone up my ass to my life sentence in federal prison. I still had room for this cell phone I’m using to type this and some Yamaha HS7’s. I wanted the HS8’s but that’s all I could take.

Sick setup: 9/10. I’ve been loving the MX Master for nearly 10 years. It’s a great work mouse. I also use a G Pro Wireless for gaming which is awesome. I’ve heard great things about the Yamaha studio monitors. Are those the HS8? They look super sleek but I’m not an audio professional so I chose to g

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

The Yamaha HS5 lack bottom of run without a subwoofer. But in a small apartment, you want to run something that doesn’t vibrate your neighbors’ walls. So it’s a tough choice between doing what’s best for your production and doing what makes you less hated in your apartment complex. I’d go with HS8 a

After having SS and tube amps for a long time, I went ampless for a while. I played Positive Grid Bias Amp2/FX plugin through Scarlett interface and Yamaha HS8 monitors. It sounded awesome but it was tiresome to use and not portable. I ended up going back first to a desktop amp (Nux Mighty Space - s

Don't know what kind of space you've got, but I found a pair of Yamaha HS8 powered monitors (no preamp) on sale a couple years ago on Amazon Prime Day and have them connected through a FocusRite and it sounds marvelous. The HS8s are large-ish, but the low end on the 8" woofers is absolutely clean an

Kind of my thinking too. I already had a quiet digital setup (Headrush Flex Prime + Mixer + Yamaha HS8). It works in term of providing a wide range of excellent sounds at a comfortable volume. But the experience of using the menus, taping or clicking on screens, switching models of amps and cabs, so

Yamaha HS-series are pretty amazing to be honest. Got HS8 at first, but downgraded to HS7 because my studio was way too small for the bass of 8.

I would stay more in the studio monitor lane. Something with an 8” woofer like the Yamaha HS8 with the sub or Adam Audio T8V. OR if you want to go the PA route, you could potentially pick up a used Bose L1 for under 1k. I would stay away from a point source in a small room, the column arrays tend to

Studio monitors. The VM80s are fine; same with the KRK Rokit 8s. If you want to go up the quality ladder, Yamaha HS8 or Adam A7. You can pair most of these with a sub, but don’t necessarily need it if you’re just playing around in your home. The 8” speaker models will have decent t enough bass respo
