I have 2 m-audio bx5a. How are the Yamaha ones comparing with bx5a? Thank you!

Neither are the exact speaker you are talking about, but may give you some idea. Looks like the Yamaha have more problems, mainly that huge peak.

That huge peak at 1Khz and large dip afterward just a little higher is a no go in my book for those particular Yamaha! Period.

The whole Yamaha hs lineup has that peak. That's why some people think that the hs series are bit fatiguing after a long mixing session.

I have the hs5 and the peak never bothers me

How does this stack with against my Presonus 3.5? Had it been any lower than this price? Only 24% off. Had always liked the HS-8.

Studio monitors are supposed to have flat frequency response, that's the whole point of them. If you mix on speakers that add too much of their own color, you risk improperly compensating for the peaks and valleys you hear in the studio and the final mix can sound bad on more accurate playback equipment.
