Best value:
Excellent
What motivated my choice is
1) have been trying for nearly 4 hours 8 pairs of speakers from 150 to 1500 € in stores in a room devoted to acoustics correct.
2) Unable to investing around 400 €, said the choice was between 6 KRK (340 € the pair promo), 8 (405 € the pair in promotion), and M-Audio BX8a (325 € pair).
The Yamaha sound really sharp, at least for composing electronic music they lack a little low for my taste. And I was looking for speakers that sound reasonably well in the bass without overloading. 6 The KRK me therefore appeared a bit closed in the lower spectrum (to the 50-60Hz), so I chose the 8.
Small feature of my acoustics, I have no other choice but to put at least 20cm from a wall. So the bass is a little exaggerated and puff some of the low mids (I think). I remove one decibel between 0 and 60Hz equalizer, just under 60 to 120Hz + and I find it clean. If I had the place, I will put them at 1m from the wall by reducing my EQ settings.
Even at high volumes, it holds out for a piece of 20-30m ². Attention to the acoustics of the room, they sound really just when spaced at 2m and at a certain distance from the walls.
If you find around 400 € the pair (rare), go try them. They convinced me.
