Andyreww Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Wow! Very nice monitors - a couple of magnitudes better than the Samson R5e's I had. We listened to a range of speakers the store it was a flip between M-Audios (harsher mid-range) and the HS80M's - they won When I got the monitors set-up I realized they are close to my Grado headphones. So, no more mixing with the headphones then adjusting for the monitors. Andy = Happy Bunny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyreww Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Merry Christmas! (probably a lucky escape with the M-Audios too ) The M-Audio's didn't sound too bad - I listened to a commercial track and one that I had done. The M-Audio's had a more harsh mid-range, a hat in both tracks sounded ear piercing. the HS80M's seemed flatter across the range. Other models (you can guess which ones) sounded crap in comparison.

6M6 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I had to comment about the comparison between the M-Audio and the HS80M monitors. They are in no way comparable or in the same league. You'll never see any professional use those BX8 monitors, they're ok for listening back and that's where their capabilities end. You chose the right ones, the Yamahas are professional grade quality and will enable you to create a mix that translates very well no matter what you play it on. Enjoy!

treeboxterry Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I just wanted to comment on the Wifey buying you those great monitors... Back in the late 80s - my wife bought me a pair of NS-10M Studio monitors for Christmas. I knew they were considered to be top notch because I'd been doing a lot of recording in New York studios, and I saw them in so many of them. She later told me that when she was buying them (I think she said at Sam Ash or Manny's Music) the guy told her what a lucky guy her husband was. We're still together - and I still feel lucky. I've still got those Yamahas... and use them all the time. Hope your's last as long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashermusic Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I've heard a lot of good about those speakers. I've heard a lot of good things about the Wifey. I am still using Wifey 1.0 with no plans to switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCProject Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'm quite happy with my HS80Ms, had them for 4 years now. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
