Speakers Yamaha

I'm going to buy the best-sounding synthesizer in the whole world, Yamaha's Motif XS8. So I'll need good active monitors to go with it. I'm trying to decide between a few sets; Behringer TRUTH B2031A active monitors or the Yamaha HS80M active monitors. I need a good set for less than or around $300. What speakers are the best bang for the buck? Other active monitor suggestions are appreciated.

You can't go wrong with either monitor. The Yamahas may be more reliable but the Behringers have more power.

Behringer now makes the newer version called the 3031a:

That is a nice synth.

NOTE: The speakers, TV, and Apple iPod Dock shown in this video are the only major components I still use; everything else has been upgraded, and ...

Is it possible to change out the speakers on the Yamaha YPG-635 digital piano? I hear the the factory stock speakers are really bad quality.... So I was wondering is it possible to buy the same size speakers of higher quality and put them in the piano myself.

How hard would that be?

Recommend its best to route the sound out through an amp and speakers of your own choice.

Reconfiguring the instrument invalidates warranties, if that is a concern.

Best, p.b.

Price: $499.99

Both XLR and 1/4" phone jack inputs
100 watts of built-in power
Built-in 3 input mixer
Bass and treble tone controls
Custom designed 8" woofer and 1" titanium tweeter

I know its a 5.1 surround. Can I mix brands? The watts on the speakers are 650. Do the watts on the receiver matter?

I agree with the other answers when it comes to watts. You have to simply make sure that your amp is not more powerful then the speakers because then you could destroy them or introduce distortion levels. Check each individual speaker for the number of watts and make sure you dont get a receiver that is more powerful. ITS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE OHMS. Many people don't even realize what ohms are. 80 watts at 4 ohms and 80 watts at 8 ohms are worlds apart. Check how many ohms your speakers pull by checking on the back sticker. The funny thing about ohms is that less ohms actually means more power. If your speakers are 4 ohms then you need a receiver that has a 4 ohm or 2 ohm minimum. Receivers have a min no of ohms and not a max. You can easily connect 4, 6, 8 or even 16 ohm speakers to a receiver that has a 4 ohm min but you cant connect a 6 ohm speaker to a receiver that has an 8 ohm min. Be careful with that because many people forget that and then wonder why they popped their speakers.

Price: $149.99

130 watts maximum power capacity, 40 watts nominal
Acoustic-suspension design for clear sound and taut, controlled bass response
Each speaker measures 7.22 x 13.47 x 8.5 inches (W x H x D)
One pair of 2-way indoor/outdoor speakers
6.5-inch high-compliance, polypropylene, mica-filled woofer and 1-inch PEI dome tweeter; magnetically shielded and water resistant

Yamaha is a good entry level brand to get into. Don't forget Denon, Onkyo, or other small brands as well and listen to them all.

For speakers I would recommend a different brand, Bose is over priced for what you get and other cheaper speakers are out there for the same money. Better sound thru marketing.

Try klipsch, DEF TECH, B & W, etc..

You should let form FOLLOW function with a speaker. listen to all with the intended amp for best results

tv is a samsung 42 plasma and i use a hdmi cable to connect my ps3 to it.

Get a receiver (for PS3, I'll suggest minimum 600Watt one). Also get high quality dts cable (digital axial input) for audio for clean pure bass.
