You're very presumptuous. I'm not a salesman. I am a career record producer and mixer. The Yamaha HS series are not the same speakers as the NS-10. While many working professionals will still use NS10's I have yet to see a single world-class mixer choosing to use an HS8. Even then, NS10's are not the be-all end-all of speakers. The appeal of NS10's is that they sound terrible and if your mix can translate on them then you're heading in the right direction. Professionals will still get a second opinion on far-nicer studio monitors, because NS10s will not reveal everything. Best-selling does not equal good. HS8's are entry-level speakers. It is no surprise that an entry level product would be the best-selling. A Big Mac might be a best-selling cheeseburger, but nobody with any experience eating cheeseburgers would suggest that it's the best at anything beyond being profitable or affordably produced. When it comes to actual quality, resolution, transient-response, lack of distortion and sonic reproduction Yamaha HS8's are nowhere near being the best studio monitors. Not even close. There are a lot of speakers that we could debate over being excellent, but in no conversation with working professionals will HS8's ever come up and withstand scrutiny. They're poor speakers for anyone who gives a damn about making records. They do a job and they do it for cheap, but they don't do it well. |
