Yamaha HS 50 and HS 80:
The Yamaha HS 50 and HS 80 boasts the Legendary NS 10 M sound and looks similar as well. The only
difference being the bass extension, you get a decent bass with HS 80 which has a 8” woofer as opposed
to a HS 50 which has a 5” Woofer. There speakers are a true value for money range as it is quite very
attractively priced.
Pros:
*
Plenty of Level and decent bass extension
*
Has the NS 10 Family sound
*
Vey sensible price
Cons:
*
Not for those who do not dig the NS 10M
sound.
*
Can sound different if the acoustic treatment is
not good in the room.
Conclusion:
Yamaha’s HS80Ms bring the NS10 concept up to date in an active package that can deliver a decent
amount of low-end clout without adding a subwoofer.The Sound is sometimes very aggressive for
some but you can certainly impress your director and producer. Great Value for money.
