man that's a lot

319 $ per speaker + it's biamped?
and armin uses it ?

wow I'm impressed

that's actually pretty cheap for what it is ....

you sure they don't have a higher model similar to the one in the pic ( they really look alike , I don't doubt it, but isn't there like a more powerful version ? )

I took a quick look on yamaha's website and didn't see any other speakers that looked like that.

jdat, what is your take on those specs?

those things are cheap.. higher grade studio monitors run for more around $1,500 EACH.

but for me, my $100 CND (each) monitors are good enough.

clear, good volumes, and a sub to compliment.

of course I always monitor with headphones aswell, to prevent speaker flaws from destroying a mix (such as the scenario lexicon has provided for us )

plus, what kind of bookshelves run at 100-18,000 Hz ? That's rediculous. my radioshack cheapo speakers even run at 65-22,000 Hz
plus like i said, my cheapo radioshack sub pounds down the frequencies at 40-160 Hz.

It's not perfect, but you know it is good enough.

meh, if they are good enough for Armin, they are good enough for me

and by the way, I just found confirmation that these are indeed the speakers Armin uses.

Under the "Monitoring" section of his studio section:

Yamaha MSP5
