Studio Monitor Recommendations

I have multiple pairs of monitors up and down the size and price range. The HS8 is fine for the price; however, that's a relatively small room for such powerful monitors. I know I have them in a room of similar dimensions. Also, I want to point out I have never heard stock HS8. I bought these some y

Help. I’m drowning in home amp paralysis by analysis.

My set up for the past 10 years has been digital floor board > mixer > Yamaha HS8 monitors. I've sold my tube amps and cabs and don't miss them. The reason for the mixer is that I don't need to boot a computer to play my guitars through the monitors. The spekers and the mixer can be turned on with o

Studio monitors as practice amp in studio apartment?

My home practice setup is a Line 6 Helix LT and a pair of Yamaha HS8 monitors. It’s a great little setup and I haven’t owned a real amp in years at this point.

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

What studio monitors to buy for small apartment?

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

Thinking about buying an audio interface instead of an amp but worried about losing that raw guitar tone

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

Question re: In-home monitors/pre-amp/stands.

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

Studio Speakers

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.
