[plastic7]

Ok. Thanks for the answers in the 500$ question.

This is really hard.

now lets try 700$... willing to spend more to get something good.

Thanks.

Still the Quads!

Swan D2.1SE are MUCH better than the Swans in my opinion. AND, I am pretty sure the Quads are more than $700

What about the Yamaha HS80M Monitors?

Does anyone know bout them?

I have Yamaha HS 50M active near field monitors with a HS 10W powered subwoofer.

 

Brief description of the monitors. They want balanced XLR input. They are designed for flat response, precision, and excellent resolution. The monitors are bi-amplified and have basic controls with the purpose of tuning the output to the room, and controlling low/high cut with the matched subwoofer. The subwoofer has high/low cut controls and a level output to match it with the monitors. The objective is to be acoustically transparent - reproduce exactly what you drop through the XLR inputs, accurately, with no coloration.

 

With good source - they are stunning.

I've heard the HS 80Ms. My impression is that the HS 50Ms paired with the HS 10W sub outperforms them by a significant margin.
