But HS80 do (also, even 50's can have a good low end, depending on your room and placement). And 80's are very nice, fat and confident sounding. Just like others have said, these Yamahas continue on the NS10 legacy; they are very revealing and working with them is easy. They translate very nicely, especially if your room is treated and/or you use room correction mechanisms, such as ARC (a life saviour).
Both on 50's and 80's the top end sounds warm and crunchy (not sharp and metallic), mids are nice and "cooked".
If you can invest in 80's I'd recommend you do that. If not, you might need a subwoofer for 50's.
