Yamaha HS5 Powered Monitor Review

[peaknik]

Will measure it soon.

Is the review of HS7s still coming?

 

[Deleted member 12642]

yeah was curious about the 7's would like to see 8's too.

Everything is always "coming." The question is when.

I was going to measure it tonight but it would require more work since I recalibrated my scanner and don't have an updated profile for active speakers. So I measured a passive speaker. Will get to it very soon now....

The wait continues

The wait continues

I see...
Patience comes after hope.

But look: JBL Stage A130 has just been reviewed... You are next.
Or the next but one...

Just don't spend your patience, keep hoping.

By the way: I saw a comparison between HS8 and a KRK (which I discovered reacently by chance) and they sounded pretty much the same. Hardly to say which was one or the other. I liked both vey much.

HS7???

HS7???

I've been waiting since I discovered this resource

HS7???

Ok, OK, I will measure it as the next speaker after the one I am doing now.

Thanks and happy new year, sometimes waiting can be better than publish close to crap performance acoustic review so lets hope for HS7 performance is okay or of better ones

Perfect!

Would four HS5 be a good fit to handle auro3D heights duties in a small 3m x 3.5m room? Air distance to the listener would be ~2m. Subs would take care of bass. Still undecided between HS5 and either the larger HS7, or the smaller (more linear) KH80.

I once read someone hypothesising that the NS10 was favoured for monitoring because of its fast response - something to do with the woofer construction being a straight cone with a seam rather than a curved funnel shape, and that this only worked because it was sealed. Don't recall the specifics, and can't remember where I read/heard it, so maybe it's BS. Interesting though.

Fast response = no bass
in my limited experience. But it sounds better in marketing speak

If e.g. bass is too fast or too slow, you need to have a word with the bassist.

Really the most elegant bass management solution possible, and they were doing it back in the 70s.

IMO a fast or tight bass is a bump within the 60-100Hz area. That adds a bit of a kick to bass! I don’t know if someone else agrees

I measured this speaker a few days ago.
So I'm going to release additional data that I can do in this thread.

This is a multitone test.

And relative to Fundamental.

This is the data for each SPL.

The compression test using a multitone.

If you could, perhaps add your site URL to your public profile or signature? Also, it would be a huge boon to the community if you could submit your data to https://pierreaubert.github.io/spinorama/
