This is a good plan - check out Sonarworks as well, the two pair very well together.
There's a well regarded EDM mastering engineer around these parts that uses the HD600 / Sonarworks combo alongside his speaker setup.

Hey, aye, see my sig at the bottom of the message for the store details. Yes, I'm in Manchester myself although the store is located on the Lancaster side of Bolton. I'm sure I'm not the only store worker in here, probably just the most vocal!SparkySpark wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 9:55 pm I notice you are from Manchester, and I assume you work in a music shop. I've actually been up for a job interview in Lancaster and so I may end up not far from your store. How cool it would be to purchase hardware stuff from a fellow KVRAF!
I must say that on a personal level, I've always found them a bit toppy too. If you check the freq response charts, the roll-off quite steeply just above 40htz and personally I like those extra few notes below to be a bit more prominent.SparkySpark wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 10:24 pm I'm not sure, but the Yamahas are monitors I'd personally stay away from. Why? Because stuff made by Yamaha is, in my opinion, exaggerating the highs. I have discussed this matter with the programme director of one of UK's sound design university research groups, and he agrees with me (he also added that the same philosophy is evident in their grand pianos, with their extremely "shiny" sound).
Yeah, that ^SparkySpark wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 10:24 pm Of course, they may still be right for you, but just make sure you don't find them harsh and also lacking in the bass region.
The funny thing is, the Neumanns KH120's for a while were the most recommended monitors we had, everyone who bought a pair loved them and a decade later they still shape up well for most uses.SparkySpark wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 10:24 pm For me, it came down to the Mackie HR-824 and similar-sounding monitors from Behringer (B2030 or B2031 if memory serves me right). I ended up with the inexpensive Behringers and was really happy with them. (They would be much too large for you though.)
Well, I don't know, but if not, there are some other places in the UK where I am thinking of settling down. It seems like a beautiful part of the UK (okay, all of the Great Britain island is beautiful).
Yes, I just find them so musical - a joy to work with, very inspiring (and in my view truthful). That's why I mentioned this approach:
Oh - it won't be sleepy anymore if I go there!
