Value For Money : Excellent
At the time I had left on the HS50 which had its mouth (the logo is lit all), which are compact, which fell within my budget and had good reviews in the press. But once in the store, the seller made me listen to HS80 (malignant) and direct the bass that I missed were there. This was my first pair of monitor so not too Reversing ...
I enjoyed EQ settings and especially the bass compensation when monitor is against a wall, very useful for the home studio which is usually compact.

SOUNDS

With hindsight and years, I think the low end lacks a little définissions so be careful at low (see below) which can be rotated once a hifi listening which tends to amplify these frequencies.
In contrast dynamics and stereo are good, even if I do not have much comparison ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have 6 years and I'm thinking seriously about changing to go to the Adam. These are good monitors proximity but because my home studio instead evolved into the studio with amateur governed, they show their limits due to the remoteness and the requirement. In addition, adjustments to the rear with the power button are not practical.

To conclude, this is a good pair of monitor with a very good value to start over, but it is a little specialty Yamaha.
