Advantages: Cheap, Flat Frequency Response, Active, Small Size

Disadvantages: Not as much bass as the HS80Ms

The studio standard 'Yamaha NS-10s' stopped being produced in 2001 due to the wood pulp in the speaker cone becoming unavailable - but Yamaha have now started a new series the 'HS' series.

I wanted a set of NS-10s due to their flat frequency response and industry standard status, but I couldn't get any - I settled for the 5 inch Cone version of their new series (HD50M's) and they are AMAZING.

For a 5 inch speaker cone, they have great bass presence in there, but not too much - as with the NS10s, the frequency response is still extremely flat which provides an accurate representation of your mix.

These speakers are active, which means that they don't need an external amplifier to power them which saves room in the studio and even better - they're small anyway! With an active set-up, it ensures you have a better sound because the internal amplifier has been matched to the speaker offering a superior sound compared to buying a speaker and finding an amplifier for it.

Overall, these speakers are a greeat set with a low price point.

Good job Yamaha!

Summary: Great speaker set which you can't go wrong with for the price!
