Yorkville YSM1P 1 OB2 Return- 1 speaker has dime sized ding on top and a ding on the edge

Yorkville YSM1P 90Watt Powered Studio Reference Monitor (Each)- Sold in Pairs Only at MusiciansBuy!

I have mixed and written scores for over 400 TV shows, 2 surround movies and countless corporate shows using Tannoy monitors of various shapes and sizes. They have always translated well to multiple formats, and as always, you get used to the sound of a certain monitor and it's idiosyncracies just like a musical instrument. I am unexpectedly pleased with the sound of these YSM1P monitors. I bought them for my home studio, where I usually just get down my music ideas and then bring them into the main studio for mixing. These YSM1P's are very transparent throughout the frequency spectrum, and they sound crisp and tight in the low end, something I did not really expect from a 6.5" woofer. I actually have replaced a set of Tannoy 800's running off a Hafler 3000 with these YSM1P's. The bottom end is tighter, and these speakers rival the Tannoy 800A powered speakers in our surround room. The controls on the back of the cabinet are easy to use, and make a discernible difference in the sound, making it easy to fine tune the speakers without changing the overall eq in the room. I am very happy with this purchase, as these were not the speakers I had originally intended on buying when I called Musicians Buy, but after some discussion, my salesmen suggested I would be very pleased with these monitors, and I am. These monitors are not just good because of the price, they are just plain good!

These speakers are crystal clear, and wow are they loud. Take a few minutes and read the manual though. They are very versatile to adapt to the space of your studio. If you have a small studio, make sure you use the rear panel to adjust to this or a pair of these will leave you with ringing ears. I wish they had a volume control on them rather than just having an input trim....but the input trim does work very well and can cut back about 20dB- (enough to not purchase a monitor control unit yet.) For monitors with neutral sound, multiple input types, and the ability to stand up to Genelecs, these are the way to go. Not to mention Yorkville's incredibly warranty...!
