#91 Yamaha HS7: $699.98 per pair Amazon eBay

Same family: the Yamaha HS3 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 2.9/5), the Yamaha HS4 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 3.1/5), the Yamaha HS5 (smaller bookshelf, rated 3.6/5), the Yamaha HS8 (larger bookshelf, ranked higher, rated 4.4/5) and the Yamaha HS8S (subwoofer, rated 3/5).

Pros: A straightforward analog monitor with boundary and treble controls. The measured -6dB point is 43.9Hz, so there is useful bass below the upper-bass region; the ideal-subwoofer score is 6.48.

Cons: Its uneven bass response crosses -3dB around 87.9Hz in the normalized measurement, so quoting the 41Hz low-frequency score input as flat bass extension is misleading. A 2.8dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz and crossover-related variation also limit neutrality. Bass support does not fix all midrange and treble irregularities.
