I would from my own experience say that the Yams both the 50 and the 80 models tend to be extremely revealing about your sound, in that I mean that they won't flatter you. If a mix has too much high end you're certainly going to notice it on the yams. As for the gens I have heard it said that they have a more 'smooth' approach in their sound and that sometimes they can sometimes flatter a mix that is mediocre and make it appear to be quite good-that's just what I've heard anyway. If anything I would recommend you look at the HS80's if you're after some yams but that's just my 0.2 cents
Thanks for the advice. I was wondering, while reading the specs of both the Yamaha and Genelec I found out that the Genelec can go to as low as 66 hz while the Yamaha can go to as low as 55 hz.
Does this mean that the Genelec lacks a lot of low end? I mainly mix r&b, pop and rock music. So would I be better off getting the Yamaha? (I don't want to buy an external subwoofer).
