I bought a pair of Yamaha HS50m's off ebay about a week or two ago. I was a little worried because they were extremely cheap and the guy used just one regular photo of a full set up with them hidden in the corners. Then he had the flu and couldn't ship them. RED FLAG.

Last week he sent me a UPS tracking number to confirm it was legit. He still could be sending me a box of bricks for all I know. So I've been checking up on the tracking status daily and hourly over the past three days. It was supposed to be delivered yesterday. Lame UPS held it overnight. It got into town this morning so I've been anxiously awaiting their arrival.

Two o'clock rolls around and nothing. The UPS van is usually in my area by this time. I hear something outside, take a peep out the window, nothing there. I check the status to double check. No update. Browse some forums. A half hour goes by.. still wondering.

I CHECK A THIRD TIME. DELIVERED. WHAT. THERE IS NOTHING THERE, I JUST LOOKED. WTF. NOOOOOO. THIS CANNOT BE.


.....asshats delivered to my neighbors house.

Any way I busted out the latex gloves, lysol wipes, and a knife for the unpacking.
I set the bitches up and not only do they look classy as ********, they have incredible detail. especially in the mid range. I threw on some Band of Horses then some of my own stuff. These little guys are pretty much the s**t. A little fatiguing but no pain no gain.



TL;DR VERSION
YAMMIES ARE THE s**t

After messing around with the yamahas I found something interesting. while they are a smaller speaker the bass actually isn't that bad. there is some funk down there, nothing too bad though. it really shines in the mids. much more detail than the truths in the midrange. the stereo image is great too. nice depth.

I'll probably get rid of the truths and use these as my main monitors for a while. I want to get a pair of Adam A7's, at least try them out. Everybody seems to j**z all over them. Or the hs80m's.

thank you. I can't wait for my rack pieces to get here. I'm building a two space for my laptop and interface. Then I'm going to snag an LCD monitor after the thanksgiving mumbo-jumbo.
