(More customer reviews)The Yamaha HS-50M studio monitors are excellent tools to listen to and work with. On audition at Digital Village I compared them to other small studio monitors by having a CD with acoustic guitar music fed through them. The bite and colour of strings through the Yamahas were reproduced very well. That was enough, I bought them.
I have been using these monitors for almost a year now. They have a fine combination of qualities, and are very serious sounding; certianly not for children, or to play about with. They are for solid work, research, and of course, monitoring.
These Yamahas may lack the real lower thunder bass around 20-40Hz, do not let that put you off, for they can still produce the thunder bass frequencies centred above this. My floorboards rattle and move below my feet due to the low frequency energy coming out of these speakers, and you can hear thuds and thumps captured on certain recordings. Thus quite simply, yes, there is enough bass reproduction here to hear. It all depends on the source quality.
The HS-50M's are very clean sounding, and cymbals have got a natural shimmer and ring. Front and back depth is good, and stereo images shift as necessary. Vocals have a realness and closeness as they should. You can hear the woody resonance of certain guitar notes resound through your chest, and the dynamic range and dynamic capability of these speakers are excellent. They also can be amazingly subtle and gentle.
When testing a wide range of music and sound sources they very clearly make it known their origin, be it a live TV studio or compressed artificial recording.
But the overall beauty of these Yamaha's is because they are so transparent, when listening to old favourites they can bring tears to your eyes, as they accurately portray an era, atmosphere, and emotion.
Highly Recommended.
