I've herd that they take getting use too, before you're able to get a good sound from them. Would be nice if you could keep me up to date with your experience and opinion of them. -original message- Subject: [ddots-l] Re: New reference monitors From: "Gordon Kent" <dbmusic@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 11/03/2011 08:58 Hello: I just got a pair of the new Yamaha hs80m active monitors. They are meant to be an updated version of the popular ms 10 with power and a bit of tone flexibility added and the are supposed to have less ear fatigue than their predecessor. I've only had them a short time but I really like them. They come with stands but I don't need the stands in my setup.
