Studio Monitors - 5" or 8"
I'm in the market for a pair of studio monitors and I'm trying to figure out if I should go with 5 or 8 inch. I have it narrowed down to either the JBL LSR305/308 or Yamaha HS8. Any suggestions? On the size and whether there's a better brand/model out there I failed to notice?
Thanks, -Adam |

The HS8 is an okay speaker but doesn't hold a candle to either of the JBL's. |

Re: Studio Monitors - 5" or 8"
I am also a big fan of the LSR models. I have the 308's in my midi room and 305's in the main room(alongside of larger Genelecs). My 2 cents, if your room is "bedroom" sized, the smaller 305's might be less likely to excite and exaggerate room issues in the low frequencies.

My room dimensions are: 21' (L) x 15' (W) x 8.75' (H). What size monitor would be recommended for these dimensions? Thanks.
