I would not recommend these specific ones with the 5'' woofer, their on-axis frequency response is not flat across the entire spectrum, but rather presents a large boost (around 5 dB) in the 1-2 kHz range, which according to psychoacoustics would be perceived as a lack of bass. Indeed, as soon as you listen to them, even in a random setup of a demo room in a store, you realize that something is not right with the lows, which are almost non-existent. Of course, this is not solely due to the small size of the woofer itself, as there are competitively sized monitors with low-frequency speakers and similar cabinet volume that "go down" much lower and have a more balanced performance, such as the JBL LSR305 or its current "replacement," the 305P MkII. However, the latter may have a more pronounced hissing compared to the Yamaha, so it's also a matter of priorities.

Nevertheless, for sound quality alone, in this price range, I would prefer the JBL 306P or the Kali LP-6. Generally, I consider Yamaha to be quite overrated, possibly mainly due to its name alone, while the same company has never been renowned for its studio speakers (compared to Genelec, Neumann, Adam, Focal, etc.), except for the famous NS-10, which, however, did not become an industry standard precisely for its sound.

Nowadays, there are available independent measurements (which are constantly increasing) from reputable websites, such as the one below, so it is good to have such a basis for evaluating audio products rather than relying on "I heard, I saw, I was told, I fell victim to the hype," etc.:

Very good speakers, reliable and neutral mainly for smaller spaces. All details are heard accurately! Tight bass, tight sound (for 5 inches very good).

Very good speakers for the studio. They have a clean flat sound without many colorations. Very sturdy and high-quality construction. Of course, due to their size, don't expect much in the low frequencies.
