Hi,
I am thinking of buying some Yamaha Active Monitors HS7 with 6.5 inch driver or HS8 with an 8 inch driver for listening to music.
My room is 10’ x 10’ and I will be listening from 5’ - 6’ away. These are normally used as near field monitors for mixing but I would think they could be used for normal listening to music with the advantage of them being active.
The crossover point on both speakers is 2khz with the 1” tweeter.
My understanding is that there is a trade off between the 6.5” driver having better mids and b less bass and the 8” driver having better bass but not so good on the mids.
both of them are rear ported.
Does anyone have any advice or experience of using these in this way or any other active monitors? Thanks
