After returning three other 10” studio monitor subs that were defective. I decided to WAY up my game a go with this 8” Yamaha. I bought the HS8S with Amazon as the seller and “ships from”
No issues at all with the sub. Clearly a high quality speaker. I ordered a pair of Yamaha HS8i 8” studio monitors and only one arrived. I connected the XLR cables to the one HS8i and left my earlier purchased 8” (other brand) studio monitor speaker connected. The HS8S and HS8i were so sonically clear I could suddenly hear the acoustics of the room distinctly! I could even hear the HS8i breaking in. It was astounding. I had not heard that before these speakers.
The other HS8i is on the way but yet to be delivered.
Technical things to consider: the heat sink in the back sticks out far enough you cannot use “angle” XLR connectors unless they are the kind that can go 4 direction. Same with the HS8i. Not saying anything against the speaker or heat sink, just something to note if you are placing the speaker in a tight space. The manual is excellent and worth reading the details that matter to you. Like balanced vs unbalanced cables.
The build quality is “QUALITY”.
Let the speakers break in a bit before deciding about them…
Very impressive and would recommend. I might start doing hearing exercises to keep up!

Yamaha HS Series Monitors
Ever since the 1970's the iconic white woofer and signature sound of Yamaha's nearfield reference monitors have become a genuine industry standard for a reason - their accuracy. Unlike studio monitors with added bass or treble frequencies which may sound more flattering at first, HS Series speakers were designed to give you the most honest, precise reference possible, providing an ideal sonic platform to build on throughout the mixing process.
By combining acquired knowledge and expertise with state-of-the-art sound technologies, Yamaha's speaker engineering team have examined, then optimized, every aspect that has contributed to making these monitors the most trusted in the business. The second generation HS Series also adds a new 6.5" model to the lineup, bringing its exceptional accuracy to an even greater variety of recording environments.

Newly Developed TransducersThe HS Series features newly developed transducers that achieve astonishingly smooth response over a wide range of bandwidth. These transducers utilize an advanced magnetic field design that regulates the flow of magnetic response to provide seamless, natural sonic transitions. |
High Performance Amp UnitHS Series speakers employ an amplifier unit perfectly matched to the transducers utilized in each model of the series. Featuring a bi-amp design with a separate dedicated amp for both the woofer and the tweeter, this amplifier unit ensures that each HS Series speaker consistently delivers high-resolution sound with exceptionally flat response across the sound spectrum. |
Controls and ConnectivityHS Series full-range models feature two response controls with detailed settings that allow them to adapt to the surface acoustics of rooms of varying shape and size. For inputs, HS full-range speakers can accommodate a wide range of balanced and unbalanced sources such as mixers, keyboards and audio interfaces with XLR and TRS phone jacks. |

Low Resonance Enclosure DesignHS Series cabinets are designed to eliminate unwanted resonance and increase the accuracy of sound reproduction to their extreme limit. The enclosures are constructed from a very dense and resilient MDF with a damped acoustic response that is perfectly suited for reference monitors. |
Cutting Edge Noise ReductionSpeaker port design can greatly influence the clarity of overall sound. Often a vortex at the either end of the port can generate air vibrations inside of the port, causing unwanted noise. By adopting an advanced noise reduction technology that incorporates a thorough analysis of a visual representation of the sound, Yamaha's engineers are able to control and reduce the vortex. |
New HS Install VersionsThe new installation version of the renown Yamaha HS Studio Monitors include mounting points and screws for installation. Compatible with wall, ceiling, and baton brackets (sold separately. |
