I just introduced myself in the newbie section. This is my first question. I did a search first to see if my query had already been addressed but didn't find what I was looking for so here goes.
I have a pair of Yamaha HS8 monitors and I am thinking of adding a sub to the system. I looked at the Yamaha site and there is a sub in the HS series called HS8S. When I went to search for prices I noticed there were a decent number of this other HS sub for sale which I didn't see on the Yamaha site. It's called the HS10W and it appears to be about a hundred bucks cheaper. Upon doing some quick research I learned it is actually an 8" sub and appears to be virtually identical to the HS8S in appearance and physical dimensions including weight. Unfortunately there really was no definitive comparison that I could find between the two. I am wondering if anybody knows these HS8S subs are exactly the same as the HS10W but with different badging or if they might be new and improved somehow. If they're the same I might as well save the hundred bucks. If there is a difference I'd be interested to know what that is. Thanks in advance.
