Frequently Asked Questions
The HS5s offer a slightly more revealing mid-range, but the 6301NX provides a pleasing, balanced response, making them more forgiving for less experienced users.
While decent, the limited low-end extension means you'll want to supplement with a subwoofer for accurate bass reproduction in those genres.
They offer reasonable shielding, but close proximity to CRTs can still cause some minor interference – experimentation with placement is recommended.
