I just picked up a new pair of Yamaha HS5 studio monitors for my workstation. I record music as a hobby and was using a pair (very decent btw) of Bose Companion desktop speakers. The difference in sound between the two is incredible - it makes me look at the speakers when listening to them. Listening to my home recordings on them reveals so many more nuances that I had missed before. Treat Yo Self!
- Was lucky to of been handed a pair of the same speakers from my dad. He wasn't using them! Make a huge difference when critically listening.cruddlebub
- congrats.. have a pair of HS8's .. was super happy with them until I got a single Genelec 8030a as a B monitor and I realised how much Yamaha's color the mix.autoflavour
- every monitor has a sound, and the Yamahas are definitely solid choice.. just know your low ends are not as accurate as they appearautoflavour
- having lots of different monitoring situations is the only way around this.. keep the Bose and have them as a A/B setup.. a good grotbox is always helpful alsoautoflavour
- I normally mix with headphones, playback over the speakers when I'm fully happycruddlebub
- Thanks, auto. I did a lot of research and in the end the Yamahas were the right choice. Watched a ton of Sanjay C vids on YT - he does great reviewsstoplying
- A monitor upgrade can be an amazing thing when you hear sounds that weren’t there before.mort_
