«  Very good value for money »

Value For Money : Excellent
Chosen for: price range, rendering nearfield volume and correct, precise, serious not too accentuated.
XLR out on alesis IO26

SOUNDS

Sufis neutral, respected and not too serious "modern" (that is not mackie let alone Genelec!)
Good dynamic but must not expect too much either for the price, excellent stereo image.

OVERALL OPINION

Use since July, perfect for listening to music and composition in the medium volume (apart anyway).
I was fortunate to work in the studio with Genelec, KRK and Mackie's, Yamaha NS10 and the old.

Genelec is good but need to listen very hard if you want the bass does not vomit.
Mackie I found it rough especially in the lower medium.
KRK not bad but you have to push a little depending on the model, more than the HS50M for "equivalence" qualitative.
Yamaha (the HS50) really clean without pushing the medium volume: the serious acute through the mediums.
Another plus: the frequency corrections to the rear speakers, very nice to "adapt" to his tastes and pieces.

I have a pair of Tannoy in the living room to listen to music, they are 11 years old but still functional. I thought they were a little better defined at the top of the spectrum, but less neutral on the bottom that these small yamaha!

With 300 euros, the size of my room and close: perfect!
Ideal power: if I change my home I will look that gives the HS80M! ;-)

Go there if you are still unsure it's really a smart purchase.
(Ps: I work not among yamaha huh!)
