So I'm looking into upgrading my current studio monitors (Mackie MR5's, Gen 1).
I'm contemplating two set ups:
2 Yamaha HS50M monitors and 1 HS10W sub
or just 2 Yamaha HS80M monitors
I was told by a friend that usually 8" monitors are more "true to sound" than 5" monitors, but the room I write/record in is so small (about 15'x20') I'm afraid the 8" with the sub would be too much low end for the room.
So would it be a better idea to lighten up on the low end from the monitors and get 5" and include the sub, or just to use 8" by themselves?
Thanks!
