#26 Yamaha HS4: $249.99 per pair Estimated Amazon eBay
Smaller model: the Yamaha HS3 (ranked lower, estimated 2.9/5).
Larger models: the Yamaha HS5 (rated 3.6/5), the Yamaha HS7 (rated 3.9/5) and the Yamaha HS8 (rated 4.4/5).
Pros: Active compact desktop monitor featuring a 4.5-inch white cone woofer and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter driven by a clean 26W + 26W Class-D amplifier. Delivers a more balanced low-end response (reaching down to 60Hz at -10dB) and smoother high-frequency dispersion than the HS3, while including flexible XLR/TRS, RCA, and 3.5mm stereo inputs along with Room Control and High Trim boundary acoustic switches.
Cons: Rating estimated from HS-series measured lineage. Lower output capability and less bass extension than the dedicated bi-amplified HS5; master/slave passive wire configuration for the second speaker.
How it compares: Just above it: Creative Pebble Pro - $190 cheaper. Just below it: Mackie CR3-X - $150 cheaper.
