Cheap, but do they work as high end?

saint · 27th June 2006

Has anyone heard the Yamaha HS80s?

I was looking for another pair of nearfields and something a bit different that I can move about.... Do they sound like NS's? Can I off load my quad and annoying sets of various passive boxes?

They don't sound like NS10's. They're a bit more hifi sounding. I much prefer the originals.

I prefer the HS50's w/ the sub.
