I used before Yamaha HS50M pair. One day I realized the highs so bright, a little annoying and I was thought about test another monitors pair. A friend (producer) switched their KRK Rokit RPG2 8''s for my older Yamaha HS50M pair. The difference was amazing! A lot of people says that KRK Rokits are very exaggerated in the bass range and people don't say nothing about mid-range and highs. I presenced first a mid-range and highs smoother, greater to be listened and presence bass frequencies. Detail: later I purchased a great pair of power cords, in the case AudioQuest NRG-X3 and the difference was even better. People in general forget about cables, but they're essential, as they deliver signals (signal from the electricity part and signal from your interface or mixer for the monitors pair). I never used a bad/cheap pair of cables or even three cables (two for monitors and another for monitors). I always used good brand (Mogami cables with Neutrik connectors). About power cords, after I had NRG-X3, the monitors pair generate harmonics around 125 Hz and it was annoying. After the switch from stock power cords for these from AudioQuest, it minimizes or even disappeared. So, you can have great monitors pair, but it won't deliver a good quality with bad/cheap cables (power cords and audio cables).
