Yamaha HS7 (pair)

This HS7 pair moves to 6.5-inch powered woofers for medium, treated rooms. The extra cone area suits fuller-range monitoring than the HS5, making it a fit for medium studios with some acoustic treatment. It's overkill for small desks — on a cramped nearfield setup the 6.5-inch HS7 is more than the space can use, and the 5-inch HS5 is the better match there.
