the hs80s aren't any more fatiguing than most other speakers tbh. They are a bit more "dry", but are a great set of speakers for the money. I personally prefer the hs50 + sub setup myself, but the 80s are great to work with.

there is a weird dip in the frequency range in them, at somewhere between 100-140 hz, but I blame my room acoustics instead of the speakers.

I'll say one thing, they sound great and my middle and upper frequencies are always where i want them when referencing on other speakers after using them for mixes at home.

Bass is where the are a bit weird for me, I will have to go through trial and error before I get it right. With that said, I know WHERE they are problematic so I can usually take that into account.

I have never noticed a dip, but my room isnt too good so I may have assumed it was my room. The bass has always seemed very tight and clean with no noticeable dips.

every speaker has their 'thing'

i use the hs80m monitors with no sub (doesn't need a sub imo)

like any other speaker, once you get used to them they translate well. some people say to adjust the switches in the back but i like them at the standard flat un-boosted/cut setting just fine.

never noticed a dip in that range but i have noticed that a lot of what is above that range is pretty harsh and can fatigue over longer periods of time

one thing about them is they are extremely good at pointing out bad compression just thought i'd throw that out there

The 50s were the most detailed speaker I heard by far when I was at the shop buying my speakers. Those with the yamaha sub would be a great speaker set up I reckon.
