Lots of laughs @ you!

You're trying to say a 170$ monitor beats a 872$ monitor? (KRK V8 MKII). It's plain stupid to make statements based on nothing.

A pair of Yamaha HS-50M will cost ya $400.00. Sorry for my vague sense in the earlier post... I am not comparing a 5" with 8". I am comparing 5" monitors under $400.00 for a pair. Guitar Center had a lineup of KRK-5, Yamaha HS-50M and M-Audio Studiophile BX5a and I swear the Yamaha HS-50M sounded a lot flatter & better compared to the other two. Well I guess it depends on your taste of music and what sounds you like to hear. I was playing a Asian Underground cd. After I got the Yamaha's, another guy popped a Rock cd and listened to all three and he also liked Yamaha's but GC didn't have any more so he special ordered it. Actually b4 I went into GC my mind was set on the KRK-5 after reading numerous posts & reviews in 5-6 diff forums. But things changed after what I heard. I am not trying to be biased but going back to the person who started this thread, "armanivespucci" I guess I would goto a store that has a nice range of monitors, take your fav cd, listen to all the monitors they have, see what best fits ya style, and your budget of course & then make a decision on what to buy. Simple as that.

Anyways Chronosis, have you personally tried Yamaha HS-50M yourself?

Nope, I haven't.

Keep in mind, you're not necessarily looking the "best sounding" speakers... you're looking for the most accurate audio representation. You're also looking for an evenly balanced frequency range... which you can't hear in a store. In addition, each speaker will vary depending on the accoustics of the room in which they're used.

That said... I've never used the Yamahas, so I'm not knocking your opinion whatsoever... I just haven't heard/seen much about them... this is more of a tip to others looking to purchase...
