Questions people ask about this model

HS8 or HS5?

The HS8 has an 8-inch woofer, more bass and more weight. It suits bigger rooms and sells for more. The HS5 is the common choice for small rooms.

Is the Yamaha HS8 price for a pair?

Yes. A single HS8 is worth well under half a pair.

What should I test on a used pair?

Both woofers and tweeters with bass-heavy music at moderate volume, the rear Room Control and High Trim switches, and both inputs.

Selling one on

Sold in pairs. KRK Rokit, Yamaha HS, Adam, Genelec all move. Singles are worth much less than half a pair.

Heavy pairs - collection preferred.

Where this price comes from

This is the range the flipper extension uses for a used Yamaha HS8 (pair) in working order in the UK. It is a starting point, not a quote: condition, extras, the original box and where you are all move the price, and faulty ones sell for much less.

The condition bands above are the same multipliers the extension applies to a listing. On a live Marketplace listing, flipper checks that range against real sold prices and live eBay listings for the exact model, works out your profit after fees and flags faults the seller mentions. It is free while in testing. Join the testers.
