HS8

No, your proposed 20w amp is NOT underpowered for the Yamaha speakers. It is grossly OVERpowered, because you are feeding that 20w signal into the Yamaha amplifier, which should have an input of only a small fraction of a watt. The impedance listed for the HS8 is the input impedance of the internal

Sure, I used to use a pair of Mackie HR824 MK1's as my main monitors for years as I knew them very well, they sounded great and have a great low end. I would almost always get the low end right on my first mix but the mid range didn't always translate well to other sources. It took more work then it

Thank you for the response. Yeah, i'm not gigging with it. I know logically I should go P525 and VST setup. I've got HS8 stereo monitors. It is so goddamn ugly though. I mean it's honestly ugly enough that it's a factor in a $1300 decision. I truly hate Yamahas. Can I ask another question? I'm new t

From a loudspeaker design and performance standpoint, it is much easier to get a small speaker to tick the boxes (on and off axis performance, woofer/tweeter integration, and etc.) what is hard to achieve with small speakers is the subjective “wow” factor that can really only come from a large displ

It would be helpful if you could describe in words something tangible that you don't like about rock music on the Shape 65's other than that you "don't like" it. But I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that it has something to do with the disembodied bass propagation of the passive radiators, o

You can safely ignore all of that — probably the typical YouTube pedagogy being awful and getting parroted. Buy one set of the best monitors you can afford. Look at your space and determine if near field or midfield are your best option (since I doubt you're in a space where far field monitors will

I guess mine usually goes into my dropbox immediately, and I play it on my wireless bose ear buds, where I listen to most of my music, while I go to my truck where I’ll put it on in there. I have a pair of old crummy desktop speakers from 20-25 years ago that I stole from my mom when she got rid of

I thought that at first because I have changed headsets since the last wipe, but even on my studio monitors (Yamaha HS8's) the audio is at like 5% what it should be, literally no other program on my PC is having this issue

I have to say I have never been happy or satisfied with any setup that uses midi and virtual sounds. I don't know what it is, I don't know if it's psychological but it just never sounds quite right to me. It sounds fine when I hear recordings and see videos of people playing these setups, but whenev

Vlastným adam audio d3v.. Už ich mám cca 6 mesiacov.. bojoval som a bojoval aby som z nich dostal maximum! Mám skúsenosti s yamaha hs8,m-audio bx5, jbl lsr305 mkii. Keď som došiel do týchto mini monitorov, aj keď na začiatku som nebol nadšený, hrali zle plechovo no to boli začiatky.. Potom som priku
