Great in my home studio
I have been recording music at home for over 30 years. I used to use passive monitors along with a power amp, but frequently had rattling and crackling in my speakers. I downsized my studio for simplicity and after doing much research, I decided the Yamaha HS5’s looked like a good fit for my price range. These deliver plenty of volume and clarity for my home studio.... They can go loud enough to feel the vibration and bug the neighbors and my girlfriend . More importantly, they sound wonderful. I put different genres through these from acoustic guitar, rock, electronic to classical. Everything sounded really nice through them. I also thought the bass was just fine in the HS5, some go for the larger HS7’s or 8 because they are worried there won't be enough bass, but those are alot more expensive and in my opinion perhaps overkill for the average home studio. I am VERY happy with my purchase and would recommend these monitors.
