Who it is for
Anyone practising in a bigger room who wants to hear the bass instead of imagining it.
In its favour
- The bass of the series without an extra subwoofer
- 47 Hz at −3 dB — the deepest of the series
- Room adjustment via switches on the back
Against it
- Genuinely needs space — unusable in small rooms
- Sold individually: buy two
- Considerably heavier and pricier than the HS5
