maybe you record in a DAW only one speaker. first play right channel then left channel to 2 microphone tracks with same microphone and pan them right and left. in DAW they stay sample sync. you can use free daw studione one or waveform tracktion for this. this give much better results stereo wide near original on good speakers as the MTM. and you need only buy 1 speaker to test. maybe you try it out.
I'm blown away by the bang for the buck offered by the Yamaha speakers, even if trying to make a decision based on a compressed YT video is a fools errand. I'd love to hear both on sand-filled stands in a treated room but given that I dont have a treated room, its probably a waste of time anyway. I was about to pull the pin on a new pair of Edifiers - not the Airpulse but definitely in the same ballpark as the HS8 - thanks for making that an even tougher choice ;)

750$ vs 2..000$ (pair) comparison... HS8's , for what they're made, are better than the other ones But just for Hi-fi listeners, Airpulse are a good alternative, (although I think that at that price, you'll find a better solution).

the music on the edifier is way more enjoyable, you listen to way more stuffs because the tweeter goes to 40khz. remember there are speakers that cost over 10k and cant even reach that.

I did not have a chance to listen to them side by side unfortunately, but from what I can tell is that A300Pro feels much more linear and detailed in the mids and high end, while still being enjoyable to listen. A300Pro feels like a true step up from S3000Pro in terms of midrange and treble quality

@@dsp2go bass is more "groovy" on S3000Pro, but A300Pro is also very nice but more precise and slightly more dry. For me, what separates the two is the mids and treble, here A300Pro is much better.

@@DSAUDIOreview oh nice! Thank you for this! This is quite informative! One more question. I have like 10cm of space between the back of the speakers to the wall of the bookshelf, is that enough room for these rear ported speakers before the bass overpowers other frequencies?
Digital Stereophony Thank you my friend. I was thinking today, when will you have an A300 pro for comparison? And now I'm looking at the comparison of the A300 pro and the Yamaha HS8. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the bass of the A300 pro is not as dry as that of the A300. How would you describe the difference in the sound of these two systems? If you still remember the sound of the A300, of course.
A300 was too bright and analytical to my liking, with rather uninspiring bass response. Pro version feels much more pleasant and enjoyable to listen while still being very open and detailed sounding. The last time I heard A300 was in june of 2018 though, so keep that in mind.
Well both sound great, the Yamaha sound more roomy but that is because of the room, however if you don't plan to treat your room them the AirPulse might be a better choice, Still I will treat the room I am working in and the Yamaha is known to be trusted as a reference , personal I never heard about the Air-pulse ( might be good )
If you already have A300 than keep em. If you do not and thinking about buying one or the other than get Pro version, as it is more musical and easier on the ears with nicer bass response. The difference in sound is not groundbraking though, it is more of a polish on already solid sounding monitor. The biggest change happened to the internals and the features
@@DSAUDIOreview Thanks as always for the insights! I already have the A300 after watching a series of your tests. I have been using them for around half a year now and I do enjoy them for day-to-day listening.

Happy new year and what a bang to start with! Finally the great HS8 got beaten. But at a price :)
lots beat hs8 but like u said at higher price
Amazing bass from airpulse 6.5 compared to a 8". Airpulse adds more tweeter clarity. Pretty much the same with the bass.

Airpulse Wins, with better Twitter and Bass clarity. If you got a good ear it's the pulse no doubt about it.

Thanks. Good luck.
ok all agree air pusle better but rember the price diffrence .... (its huge)
Edifier made some good speakers, albeit at pretty high price point
Just here to vibe to the music.
Overall the original track is sounds better.
I don't even know can been theoretically, in an ideal sound recording and playback system, that the sound is indistinguishable from the original.
Yamaha is studio monitor! Absolutely other kind of usage than Edifier
What connection are you using with a300pro? "Balanced" and "unbalenced" connections improver performence over "others"?
Both were connected via XLR inputs. There is no audible difference between the inputs
@@DSAUDIOreview Thanks!

*Edifier R2000DB* vs *Edifier S1000MKII* please...
A300 Pro's are a bit brighter. Otherwise, not much of a difference really. The sound stage is very close, pretty much the same.
Airpulse A300 win. Maybe HEDD Type 05 vs JBL 705p?
Airpulse for me, it's more dynamic. Yamaha have to much highs.
A300 is more elegant and sound better than yamaha
The airpulse has a depth to the music a 3d effect the yamaha sounds flat in comparison
airpulse detail yamaha boomy
AirPulse details
Agree, and not just a bit!
AirPulse A80 = Kef LSX ;)
A300's exaggerate high mids compared to original track. For the money get the hs8
Must have Klipsch and B & W in the mix or its not complete... Must include the british monitors and Euro challengers too!
Is mortals speeded up a little bit?😆

AirPulse too brighter, best yamaha
What happened to the old room ?
I moved to different city. Old room is gone for good
sacrilege no frequency response why? No directivity response? Because of your new location.
Read the pinned comment
why hs8 has a bigger size, performing worse on bass.
Air Pulse better on Man on Fire - more brightness, not enough in Yamaha. But I think Air Pulse may be not as accurate, not as flat overall.
hs8 has more bass but do not respond fast. a300pro is clearer and more spacious.
hs8 have a deep bass sound
The Airpulse wins by a hairline.
yamaha hs8
Yaa. Mahato ya Mahato ya Mahato..
the tuning is weird, everything is pitched up
Whole video is slightly speeded up due to my mistake while exporting the video
Not sure how this comparison works considering they’re in a totally different price range.
because in audio, expensive does not always means better quality or better enough to justify the price difference
Yamaha Is More Balanced
It makes sense.... they suppose to be studio monitors.... the Aipulse are Hi-fi-ish monitors and... much more expensive (2000$) ;)
