One for each ear.

You can always make do with one speaker, unless you require stereo.The HS8 is somewhat expensive. I know not everyone here has a nice home studio so I wanted to see if anyone found a way to make due with one 1 and run mono until they could afford/justify a pair.
You didn't ask me either, but I had something to contribute, so I did. As did @Johan Allard above.Not sure why you even answered like that. I wasn’t asking you.
A pair, for studio monitoring.Pair or single?
i use Adam a5x. love them. the most clarity i've ever heard in any speakers. that top end is perfect. i hear stereo things that i've never heard on the same recordings i listened to all my life. i heard the a3x and a7x as well, and the 5s are perfect for my setup.
I’d get the 5 if you can. Better bass response naturally from a larger speaker. The 3 sounds good too for a small room. But I prefer the 5.how would you compare the different adams monitors across the line? the 3 and 5 are both within my price range
I appreciate all the input! Lots of really great advice in here. I tried the unit out with headphones and definitely found a lot of tone im missing out on with my KRK's.
I'm committed to upgrading but I'm torn between something like the freidman ACS cab modelers or better monitors. I don't need the extra volume the friedman is capable of, but I love the amp-in-room sound. Will the friedman still allow me to play quietly (asssume my wife is sleeping in the other room)?
if the friedman isn't able to dial back to very low volumes I'm leaning towards a set of Adams monitors or Yamahas

That said, I EQ any speaker I use for the room it’s in and I do pull down some low end, and notch some Mids. I just put on music I’m familiar with and push bands up and around frequencies and anything that sounds too funny I cut a bit. I do this for any speaker including IEMs. The clarity and sweetness of the high end of the Adam speakers is very nice.
You’d be getting a pair or a single?
That’s the same thing I experience. Good monitors have great separation like that.In fact, it sounds like I have an extra speaker In the Center for the vocals.
There are many options out there for studio monitors. I upgraded from JBL LSR 305s to Kali LP-6 monitors and the difference is night and day. When I listen to a mix I can hear every instrument in its proper space. In fact, it sounds like I have an extra speaker In the Center for the vocals. Even the wife was astounded
