I'm probably going to get powered monitors for the Axe-Fx and I was looking at the Yamaha HS-8, haven't decided anything so I'm completely open to suggestions if you think this is the wrong path.
Before I make a purchase I have two questions.
1. Does an 8" woofer have low enough frequency range to represent a standard tuned guitar?
The Yamaha says it goes down to 38 hz wich is lower than a low 6th string E which is about 82.4.
But does it sound weak?
2. Should I get ported or sealed monitors?
Again, if you have suggestions please let me hear them.
I'd like to keep my price under 500 or not much over that.
Edit: just to clarify - there is nothing other than an electric guitar that will be going into the monitors.
Thanks
