I used for a long time the yamaha hs80m's before i decided to upgrade last year in the newer model, the hs8's. I bought this bundle and as soon as i got it, i set it up in my studio and realised that the stands are absolutely perfect for the monitors. I thought the stands might be quite unsteady because of the price when buy individually, but they seem to work fine, and i had the chance to use them on both carpets and wooden floor. I will not commend on the monitors as it is subjective, for me obviously is the best speaker. I recommend this bundle as it is the best monitor bundle you can get unless you want to spent over 1000euro.
