Wow, we use them as cupholders. Stupid us, we were wondering why there was a plug on the backside. Go figure...I think Yamaha must mention next time in the manual these things can be used as monitor.

That was extremely helpful. You know, If you are going to make a joke, you have to have one of these It is the law.
Or if you are going to be sarcastic you need to do this
By the way, are there two of you? You said "We" an awful lot. I think this is some cupholding-monitor conspiricy

S8M's

This may not be a timely reply to your query but here goes. I've owned a pair of S8M's for about 10 years and for the money they work well enough (for the money). But if you are looking for a pair of monitors that will give you good all around frequency response without resorting to using sub-woofers these speakers aren't it, they just can't handle low frequencies very well but sound fine when it comes to mid-range and high frequency information. FOR THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY I don't know that you can get much better. I just made a cursory glance to see how much a pair of used ones cost to guage what it would cost to replace one that was just damaged by house movers, I found a pair advertised at $99 !.
