🔊 High-performance Yamaha MSP5 Studio Monitor – Optimized for Enhanced Audio Experience Review

I use these speakers on my computer where I have all my MP3s, a MIDI synth kick from Roland (I'm an amateur musician), etc. These things rock an incredibly clear sound and lots of bass without "muddying". I'm spoiled, I can't listen to cheap computer speakers anymore!

These monitors knocked my Maudio BX5a out of the water. I use them for recording and for computer sound. I use an XLR to stereo cable with them.

There are other ways to do this. But just wanted to give an idea. Once used the goodwill had no idea if they worked. So I dared. Man they sound amazing…

After I decided to build a small stereo to play music from my computer and iPod the owner of the stereo store I checked out said I should Yamaha listen MSP5 monitors he had. He explained that I would not need to buy an amplifier as the speakers would be powered ie. Each speaker has internal amplifiers, one for the woofer and one for the tweeter.
