	Hi Steven, > I'm looking to get some monitors to use and was wondering what > everyone's opinions are on the Yamaha S50M's: > I have a pair of HS50Ms and love them - they are my first set of "proper" monitors so I don't have a lot to compare them to but they are very detailed - "honest" but not overbearing. What may be a drawback is the bass response - for most work they are fine but I did an electronica remix recently for a friend's band and when I went to another reference system for listening found that I'd mixed the bass tracks 2dB or 3dB too loud. Easy enough to correct but the matching sub (HS10W) is now on my shopping list. Put it this way, if they failed (and they won't) I wouldn't hesitate to replace them with the same unit. Cheers Gareth

	Apparently there is no such thing as no colouration. BTW my favourite monitors are the ATCs!

The difference with the HS50M is mainly about the frequency response (less bass) jp On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 9:10 AM, Steven Yi <stevenyi@gmail.com> wrote: Hi All, I'm looking to get some monitors to use and was wondering what everyone's opinions are on the Yamaha S50M's: http://www.zzounds.com/item--YAMHS50M I was thinking to spend around $800 and these seemed like they would do nicely from what I've read, but I haven't yet had a chance to hear them in person. I'd love to hear anyone's opinions on these or other monitors in this price range. Thanks! steven Send bugs reports to this list.
