This tends to be a rather clumsy option for the fretting hand, though. ...

I'm not sure that I understand the difference, unless one is playing into an oscilloscope for measuring. All that counts is what is perceived, I'd say. The end result of any active or passive system is that any change of one element affects the whole, as for as human hearing is concerned. Peace.

A winner, I think.

No need to get excited, though. I was just pointing out that adjusting any one setting does change the perception of the overall sound, so touching at 'treble' (or whatever...) would naturally lead to touching elsewhere, such as volume, to compensate. The overall sound changes if one changes any single element of that sound. That's all. Peace.

Perceived tone will change with a volume change, that's just in the physiological functioning of human ears. I realise, of course, that some musicians do not seem to have human ears (or, at least, human hearing...). There is no 'magic bullet' that compensates 'automatically' to keep it all 'as one wants it'; some adjustment around the original change is most often required, or acceptance that it's changed, and it's fine. (Disclaimer : I'm a drummer, so what would I know ..?)

I tried other browsers, no dice. Maybe a regional thing; the French are to be kept in the dark over this product. Hmm...

Nope, no cigar.

Ah, OK. Well then ... Klipsch 'The Fives' ... ... or ... M-Audio Forty-Eighty ...

Duff link, I think..?

Have a look here for some choices..? Best value bookshelf speakers 2025 ... Hope this helps.

Are you sure you don't mean 'HS8'..? 'NS8' existed, long ago, as mid-range HiFi, but are not at all 'bookshelf'... ...compared to Yamaha HS8 ...

@Happy Jack...

I tidy cales away using the 'figure of eight' method; I finish by lifting it up from each side (left and right...), and put a Velcro band around it to keep it as a loop. No tangles, no twists. Works with all types of cables, and garden hoses. Hope this helps.
