«  Just what I needed »

Published on 09/11/12 at 04:23
it will seem stupid but I just listened and store compared to others.
Brand and reputation on other models like the NS10 ... helped me to choose, and the power of the speakers ... but I'm mostly an idea is by listening.

use in a home studio, connected to a sound card with software like mao: logic 9 mac.

SOUNDS

Yes the sound is cold and neutral
Yes dynamics is fully respected
The stereo image is very good. If I place the speakers in the right place relative to the ears, I do not know where is the source of his left right up down, and I really feel that the sound is in my head.
Very good presence, it makes me think sometimes its "virtual dolby surround" of the time.
The sound is clear and precise across the spectrum, no frequency is flattered.
can manually flatter bass using a small button on the back of the enclosure, I would not recommend for mastering, but to listen to cd is great.
We approach the hi fi without supply of heat or low, transparent, faithful.
No breath.
We can compare a file with a wav file MP3 320kbit / s or aac file, and the difference is bleuffante ... like what the defect is less audible.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than 2 years
I had alesis mkII, which are to play the keyboard or guitar, but not for mastering
There seemed sound more muffled and less faithful to the source. In addition, the amplifier was included in the enclosure (it necessarily in the night) while the amp is MSP7 outside speakers and screwed on.

I tried to shop together at my yams: yamaha HS80, NS10 fostex, krk, samson, prodipe, edirol, Beringer (good all this is not comparable in any way). should compare them to speakers or genelec Quested ...

The important thing is not to be compared to others, it is the turning on and have immediately thought "this is where I need it" I tried all these speakers with the same original CD morcheeba I had already heard a good thirty times. It is a must to choose.



Pros: the sound!
manufacturing quality yamaha
design

The - the weight? this is metal, solid, shielded (must know what you want, and yes, plastic is lighter)
diodes yellow front

very good value for money, we are in the middle range but we really feel like a must-term monitoring speakers.
frankly I do not need to even better because it is already very good at 1100 euros a pair, I remake this choice again, but rather to a passive version with amp. buy eyes closed ONCE YOU TRY.
