I don't know if this the right section for this but do you guys have ever mixed and mastered a song with a Yamaha HS5? If so, can I have the sample? I am currently on survey for studio monitors :)


Forgive me if I posted at a wrong section..
 
I'm sure there are a bunch of people here who have mixed with the Yammies (mastering is something else) - what's the point of a 'sample'? - whatever you hear is going to be colored by what YOU are using to listen to it as well as any acoustic treatment in your room.
 
^This^

It's a pointless request unless you have the same monitors in the same room.
 
When trying out monitors in store I found the HS-5's to be severely lacking in the low end... The KRK Rokit 5's sounded much better...
The HS-7's were a different story and I walked out the store with them with no regrets.
The only other experience I have with monitors are the Tannoy Reveals (blue ones) I had a decade ago... They were good. If the new ones are an improvement then they're still good.
 
The Yammies have a low end spec of 53Hz. I bought the 5" JBL LSR305, which have a low end of 43Hz, same as the Yamaha HS7. Note that these 5" speakers have rear-facing bass ports, so unless you have a big space between the speaker and your front wall, you need bass traps on that wall.
