I personally run the Alesis M1 MK II's in my jam room and the Yamahas in question in my mixdown room.The Yamaha HS series are great for referencing, but they are reference monitors and mostly intended for that use. For general listening, jamming and instrument playback, you might find them lacking in bass without the sub which is sold separately. Surprisingly, the Alesis M1 MKII have a really nice, clear sound and provide plenty of low end at a cost that wont break the bank (I believe you can get a new set for around $200). Unless you are doing studio mixing and mastering, you likely will get more out of something like that or the Rokits which were suggested.
