It’s the moment of truth for the HS8 active monitoring speakers, the largest in the new HS speaker series from the Yamaha brand. After the almost posthumous success of its legendary NS-10, the manufacturer is trying to win back the hearts of engineers and “home studioists” with affordable and, we hope, affordable monitoring. Let’s say that the quality of reproduction matches what one would expect from a speaker of this size.

Yamaha has clearly not said its last word: the manufacturer offers with its HS8 an excellent work tool, endowed with precise and faithful sound and spatial reproduction. The speakers are carefully designed and constitute a very good starting point for anyone wanting to equip their home studio or a modest-sized studio. However, with such a result, it is regrettable that the bass has not benefited from better neutrality and that the speaker does not include more settings. These are the elements that barely prevent him from winning our final star.
Strong points
- Restitution of mids, highs and extreme highs with exemplary neutrality.
- Excellent stereophonic spatialization.
- Power and very low distortion.
- Quality manufacturing and finishing.
Weak points
- Some inaccuracies in the bass register.
- Few settings available.
