Yamaha NS-10M vs HS-80M

[11010011001]

Thanks for the info Martin. I have to find a copy of that issue of S&S. I
was hoping the HS80 wa just a powered version of the NS10's retaining all
it's character. Off to ebay I go for a pair.
Now there is also the matter of an amp to power them. I haven't looked into
an amp for monitors for so long, I wouldn't even know where to begin :(
