I’ve read nothing but good things about the HS5 and HS8 monitors, but I still went with a different option for my setup due to multiple bad experiences with small active monitors overheating and burning out their internal amp within 1-2 years of normal usage . While I do use the matching Yamaha sub (which is outstanding, btw), I instead went with a pair of the JBL Control 1 Pro passive monitors paired with a Crown XLS1002 stereo power amp. Outstanding sound quality for mixing/monitoring purposes, and zero risk of the amp overheating and burning out with normal usage.
