In case you are wondering someone is still looking forward to your HS7 reviewFYI I returned my HS5 and bought the HS7. So will measure that at some point.

FR response for HS line, as listed in Yamaha brochure (HS8 seems to be the flattest):

There are normal measurements and there is Amir. Plus I am sure the weight of an HS7 on his chest is not comfortable .Detailed measurements of the HS 7 & HS 8 from Sound & Recording

They are mostly sufficient. Although, I prefer the ones where frequency responses at different angles are on the same graph and THD is in percent. Also, Amir is building a good body of Klippel research on speakers so HS7 would be a good addition to it as well (he bought the speaker ages ago).The measurements presented there certainly more than adequate if you were implying they are not.

Presentation of information matters a lot. There are other sources of information but even I have trouble making sense out of them sometimes. Lot of effort goes into stitching a story of a speaker's performance as I write the review.If those measurements aren't enough for you to make an assessment about the speaker then perhaps you aren't really understanding the measurements.

I would appreciate it if anyone could help me with this. I am trying to understand whether I got a faulty pair of hs5's lately. I took close (30 cm) and further (1m) measurements in large living room. My point of interest is the area between 500 - 1100 hz where I sense there is a difference between the normal hs5 freq response and my perception. I feel that mine emit more 600 and 700 hz information than what they are supposed to and maybe a bit less in the 900-100 hz as well. I kind of feel like their mid boost is tuned a bit lower than it should. When I listen to music there are times I feel like I want to cut the 600 or 700 hz a bit to as vocals tend to sound muffled in this area.. Interestingly this doesn't seem to be the case according to the measurements, yet they really do seem different than the response they should show according the manual. Could my room really make such a big difference in that particular area of the mids ? (Please ignore the excessive high frequency information. It is a mic issue when working in omni mode.)

No, no walls, or large reflecting surfaces. The floor definitely gets involved, but I placed a pillow to reduce the mid freq interference. Nevertheless, I doubt this interference can justify such a significant response deviation. I have taken measurements in the past in my - smaller - mixing room using a different mic as well and the results were more or less similar to these in this particular area of the spectrum. I guess the best way would be to make a direct comparison with another pair side by side.Weird indeed. I assume you dont have any closeby objects/walls during the measurements?

Are you shure that microphone is not the one that makes the frustration, also if in measurement chain one use a build in sound card in a notebook then sometimes those cards have some software filters enabled that improve sound on the small notebook transducers but will distort and make weird curves used as a measurement device, below is your curves overlaid to Amir's spindata.......(Please ignore the excessive high frequency information.

I have them for over two years now. They both sound similar so it is not a matched pair issue. Most likely it is a faulty batch.Return them and get another pair...Good luck.
I saw sellers offering them in pairs so as to grant "same sound", which in the end made me look elsewhere. Same goes for HS7,

I use Audient Id14 and Maudio Omnistudio Usb for my measurements. No filters involved in the chain.also if in measurement chain one use a build in sound card in a notebook then sometimes those cards have some software filters enabled that improve sound on the small notebook transducers but will distort and make weird curves used as a measurement device,
