I've only worked with them for 2 days. My impression is that they are, in general, a great monitor for the money. I spent a lot of time at GC and Sam Ash listening, and they seemed the best compromise. They do reproduce some low end, and the highs seem the most accurate and listenable at this price point. I was thinking about the Event asp8's, but when I listened to them I was absolutely appalled at what they did to the high end. My only complaint about the HS80m's so far - and it's a minor, learning curve sort of issue - is that there was some harshness in the top end of a couple of guitar tones that was not obvious to me until I checked in my car.
