I've managed to borrow a pair of HS7 monitors to try out for a few weeks..
surprisingly, they are blowing away my trusty KRK V6 mk1 monitors..
the seem to go lower, higher and have better clarity..
Base theme by DesignModo & ported to Powered by Vanilla by Chris Ireland, modified by the "theFB" team.

interestingly... my KRK V6 cabs are slightly larger than the HS7's [same depth / height but the V6 are a little wider]..
but the HS7's have deeper and more focused low end...
also, I think some of the low end clarity may be because the HS7 ports are to the rear.. whereas the KRK port is a slot at the front.. when I compared the m side by side it was only then that I noticed something I hadn't noticed before.. that was the turbulence coming from the KRK's port... I'd never noticed it before.. mental...
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
the other thing forgot to mention is that the HS7 tweeters are quite strong.. especially for near-field [I'm less than 2m from each monitor..
but they do have a switch on the back that allows you to knock off -2dB.. this worked perfectly for me..
given how little these things cost [compared to a new pair of KRK VXT6 - which is I guess the latest equivalent to my V6], the are irritatingly good..

Monitor choice is really personal and also room specific, placement and treatment makes a big difference too. You've really got to try something for a while to see if it will work.
