Yamaha HS8 Active Studio Monitor (Single Unit)

They were out of stock for a reason!!

These are excellent! Overall good sound with no hiss. They look great and they're a good price.

These monitors are a wide frequency response, giving a pretty honest, flat sound which is great for all types of music!

Definitely recommend!

Yamaha HS8S Active Subwoofer

I wasn't sure if I should buy this sub to complement my HS7s, but I'm glad I did. I use my setup to listen to the music and watch movies, and it drastically changed the experience. First of all you really feel the music – the lower frequencies are reverberating in your body, even on very low volume. In general I noticed that I can listen to the music on a much lower volume and still enjoy every detail. It also gives presence to such instruments like double bass, tuba, drums, or lower octave of a piano. My HS7 no longer have to deal with these lower frequencies and at least to my ears sound a bit clearer.
One thing to keep in mind though is that it's very sensitive to the positioning (like any sub). If I put it in the corner a bit out of sight, then it creates a room mode in the opposite corner with greatly amplified bass, while there's almost nothing in the centre of the room. So need to play around with it, and adjust for your listening position. Something to keep in mind.
Overall very happy with the purchase.

Excellent! These are great monitors for recording and mixing.

This monitor has a wide frequency response and is not hyped, giving a pretty flat and honest sound - which is a good thing.

Overall good sound with no hiss. Good looking monitors at good price. Recommended.

Yamaha HS8 Active Studio Monitor (Single Unit)

Ik heb deze speakers nu al bijna 4 a 5 jaar volgens mij, wat toen een fllinke investering was. Maar ik heb er geen moment spijt van gehad, het blijft echt een top product. De kwaliteit van het product zelf en het geluid wat eruit komt is echt insane.
Heel eerlijk denk ik zelf dat ik deze gewoon voor de rest van mijn carierre kan blijven gebruiken!
De frequency range is zeker daar!
Er zijn al meerdere nummers mee gemaakt die de miljoen hebben aangetikt kwa streams, zeker het geld waard als je het aan mij vraagt!

Kijk je hebt dus audiofielen die heel veel geld steken in bi-wiring / amping, kabels en noem maar op.

Maar die kennen deze gem niet. Sluit dit aan op een fatsoenlijke Audio interface, zet de ruimtelijk op stands. Anderhalf meter van de muren. En je hebt voor minder dan 900 euro een bi-amp set speakers met een fenomenaal geluid en plaatsing. Niet doorvertellen ;-).

Mijn setup: Zoom U-44, Dynaudio stands en 2 van deze…

Caisson de basse bluffant ! Indispensable pour maitriser ses créations sonores, les basses sont correctement resituées : le caisson descend jusqu’à 22-24 Hz alors que les HP du genre HS8 ne descendent qu’à 38Hz
