I'll be buying either the Yamaha hs50m monitors or the Genelec 8020a. I would like to get feedback on which one do you think is better because I can't try them at a local store.
I would really like to get some replies from people who actually tried both.

Thank you all in advance!
Being used to mixing on headphones that probably extend quite low, the biggest thing you're going to have to deal with is the sudden lack of sub information jumping to either of those monitors as they'll both be relatively sub-bass light.

So if you can afford the 8020, perhaps the HS80m might be the better option?.

Also you couldn't have picked 2 more different sounding monitors really, it's a real shame you're not within travelling distance to really hear them for yourself as its like chalk n cheese here.
