The Yamaha MSP5 has been updated to the Yamaha MSP5 Studio. Essentially, the differences are cosmetic so why not save ££s and buy the original? Paul White (SOS, February 1999) comments:
“The MSP5s are something between nearfield and desktop monitors, and are capable of delivering a loud, solid sound with a reasonable amount of bass extension. They have something of the NS10's tendency to sound a little aggressive at the high end, but they're certainly very usable, and because they're magnetically shielded, they are well suited to the desktop computer-based studio where space is a problem.”
