Interesting that you tend to emphasize on the HS80m rather then the HS50M. I'm told that for smaller rooms, the 5" should be better, since the 8" needs more physical space between them and between the listener and them. This sounds logical to me, but still may not be too important in practice.
Also, what about the bass-reflex whole being on the back of the speaker, rather then on the front? My knowledge is that if it's on the back, there should be more space from the wall to the
speakers. That also seems to be logical, but does in count in reality?
Next is placement - what about putting (one of) them in the corner of the room next to a wall and on a desk? I'm considering a set of 5" monitors to put them on a desk, about 1 meter (3ft) apart. The desk is placed in front of a wall and in the corner of the room. Do you think I should bother with the consideration of the rear mounted bass reflex or the location?
As for 8" - I'd love to have, since they are more powerful and would work great for small home parties. Still, the primary objective is at home on my desk, so I'd like to fullfil this primary purpose even if they won't good for mini-PA purpose (secondary).
I'll be glad to hear your thoughts
