Monitoring the Yamaha HS7's

Greetings, Paul,

Thanks for the info .

I had a look at you pics, they sure do look the part, better than my two ugly paving stones on each side. Mind you, the pavers do a pretty good job.

Have you experimented to find out how the stands perform, using them versus not using them, what’s the difference, and do you like what you hear?

If you like, I’ll look for your answer on the forum (but PM’s fine), others may be interested…

Thanks heaps mate, all the best,

Mauri.

Hi Mauri,

i did a quick basic test and there is a difference with the BASS FREQUENCIES. This will be due also to the fact the speakers are/were sat directly on a wooden desk. Having the stands eleminates any such unwated resonant issues. The MoPAD Foam provides even more isolation but i do not actually hear any difference so it may be very minute, or maybe my ears are not trained enough in such detailed listening. But in any case, i use them as double precaution regardless.

And of course the stands raise my speakers by 12 x cm which brings the tweaters to ear-level.

Ta,

Paul
