I can hear much more detail in the mids of the hs80s. They also have fantastic stereo imaging and are far from what I would call hollowed out. Sure they have their flaws but we're talking budget monitors here.
The point about the guy/gal behind the desk turning the eq knobs is a good one. But we each have our own preferences, it's funny how some guys here like and prefer the rokits for the reasons I don't.
All I can say is go and listen to them if you can, don't buy them based on stuff you read on the interweb. Clearly they are not everyone's bag! My 2c.
Actually since everyone hears differently, percieves differently and mixes differently, then whats the point of even having a forum where monitors are discussed?..lol seems pointless. i get the feeling that at the end of the day, if everyone can get the mix they want out of ANY speaker, then the m-audios are just as good as the genelacs..shrugs...why pay 3k for genelacs when by the theory presented here in this thread, m-audios can get ya there too..? unless there IS a difference!
and if everyones ear hears differently i.e. "john q musiclistner" then that means there really cannot BE any standard for monitors because no matter how flat they claim to be..if everyone in the end is gonna hear things differently, then as a mix/master person the only person your really mixing for....is you....lol
