Yamaha hs50 vs anything of similar price

[Auroras]

We'll im planing on getting these monitors what other monitors should i look into as well that will give me the most realistic/truest sound in this price range.

And how do they compare to these

Thanks

You should really consider the HS80 instead. They are the best in that price range.

well, I use Samson Rubicon R5a's:

I think they're fantastic for the money. There's even a reasonable amount of low end coming from the 5" cone it has, the same size as in Yamaha HS50m's. I haven't felt like needing a sub, but I do check the low end of my mixes by headphones.

They have ribbon tweeters, like in Adam's monitors, and I'd say they're the best thing ever conceived by Samson. I think I'll keep these as secondary monitors when I'll eventually buy a pair of pro monitors...

Still obviously, they probably wouldn't beat HS80m's, if you'll be able to stretch your budget that far.

The hs 80 are at least 150 more minimum here and im trying to keep the price down as i can barely afford to get the hs 50s

I just got my HS 80 and i realy love it, my first set was a KRK Rp6 but it just dident work for me.
My opinion is that you can t go wrong with the Hs 50 for a small room. You just have to set it right, and learn your monitors.
James Murphy, and Tue Madsen also checked their mixes on Hs50 s as a second pair (i think ).
