Man I had Yamaha hs-8's and a marantz 8801 pre and they were great for HT. I was even gonna buy a single for a center and two more for surrounds. All those power cords are harder to manage than speaker cables though so I sold them. I could absolutely see where they have there place in two channel and if not satisfied there easy enough to sell to guys starting out with an in home studio. Sold mine locally in one day.
Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers?
Hi guys,
Just a general wondering though, nowadays I've seen a lot of new active speakers, and truth to be told, I find them quite professional indeed, when I go into an audio shop and ask some advice, some might even encourage to purchase the bookshelf speakers, as they're more cost-effective and space-saving hahah.
All that asides, regarding the sound quality matter, it ain't bad at all, but I'm not sure if it's my living room just not that big or some technical matters, the sound experience is actually vivid, but yeah I also think when you put the extra circuit inside the speaker for amplifying use, it'd certainly affect the original performance more or less. Especially under this digital streaming era, every part seems to be specifically separated, so it can perform to its fullest, and lessen the interference between each device.
Anyways, let me know what you think, I'd be grateful, or maybe share you existing setup with us!
Best,
