Simply the best so forget the rest
Well there was a lot of confusion on the order. First the speakers are indeed HS8 W. They are the absolutely best speakers you can buy for less than $1k and maybe the best period. The stands are not Rockville - hey are Accenta. But they are good. The foam is a cheaper knock-off too. Nonetheless this is a great value package. The great complement to these speakers is Yamaha's MusicCast preamp and media player WXC-50 for the most fantastic hi-def streaming music that blows just about everything away. If the MusicCast had balanced outputs it would be perfect but for short runs with low oxygen cables it works fine unbalanced. This isMy goto sound system for home listening. I have the same speakers in my studio. They don't need subwoofers. They are simply 24k magic!

Bundled Items Are Not Accurate.
The HS8 monitors are fine.My gripe was the stands are not by Rockville they are unbranded, the foam is not Mopads by Auralex it's just unbranded and a bit thinner and seems less durable than Mopads, and the cables are not Rockville neither they are by "Pro Sound Gear" however they are advertised as 6 feet, but the supplied cables are actually 10 feet so I can appreciate that.Let me say that the quality on the stands are really bad and frustrating to assemble. For one the actual bottom of the stands the pieces that touch the floor are not easy to screw in all the way you may need grease and a pliers. Then to make that worse the rubber part for hard solid floors are thin rubber caps that go over the sharp metal screws that's supposed to dig into the carpet if you had carpeted floors. It can easily pierce the rubber. Also the locking clamp is hard as hell to put down the pole. The instructions are the kind that look like hieroglyphics with a few pictures and numbers, but no real explanation on what to do. Lastly I am positive my stands were already USED either as a return, floor model etc...They had all kinds of scrapes on the black paint finish. I look in the bag to use the washers I am missing one so I say ehh lets just move on and then when I get to the top part to actually rest the monitor on its smushed into the padding at the top that all the surface of these kinds of stands have. Not even in the bag with the rest of them. I forgot to mention there was no Allen wrench included it was a coincidence I had a set of them right in front of me. I already have stands "Jamstands" with Auralex Mopads so I've already put stands very similar together and I already know how Mopads look and feel...hell I put my old Rokit 8's on the stands and pads from this package and hoping they dont fall because they seem a bit lopsided and spin very easily.My biggest concern is you need to be honest and accurate with what is being sold. I really do appreciate what is in a packaged bundle for what comes in at the same price as the main item itself. You can't argue with that, but some people just dont want the headaches and the uncertainness and are willing to suck it up and not be cheap about it.

Not what was advertised
I received everything in the package and had no problem with the shipping. The reason for my bad rating is because I received black speaker when I clearly paid for the white ones, I did not received my product as advertised. My entire studio is white and now the speakers don’t match. Hope this helps anyone that specifically is looking for white.

Got the bucks, then get them,
The HS8 is a awesome set of speakers, however you must have good hardware hooked up to it or you will think they suck. They will reproduce exactly what you feed them, so low end hardware sounds that way, hook them up yo a great dac and amp and you will be smiling,Stands are not great, heavy enough but a bit wobbly, got the bucks, then get you some Yamaha HS8's you will be pleased

Most of the product is great except the cables that were provided
Most of the product is great except the cables that were provided. When I plugged them in there was a overall crackling static across the monitors. I used the cables provided by my JBL 308s and they did a better job of eliminating that noise.

Everything is Perfect Except....
The speakers are reallly good and amazing, the only problem i have with the bundle is that the Auralex MOPAD Studiofoam are Knock offs, they had a Presonus Sticker on them and were kinda ruffled and one of the stands kinda is wobbly like it was bent and wont stand straight

The package was a great deal. The monitors are really great
The package was a great deal. The monitors are really great, they're really true to the sound. They have a good low end if you're concerned about the bass. They're the best for the price. The stands I didn't use but they're stable. The xlr cables were decent cables not the best but it's a package, they were free. I was gonna buy gold plated xlr's anyways. The foam pads help so much. Overall it's a great bundle. You go to guitar center you're paying the same for just the monitors. Here you get stands, cables and foam

Amazing monitors, and excellent service from the seller (thanks ...
Amazing monitors, and excellent service from the seller (thanks David!).I must point out that the stands are a bit too top-heavy and wobbly on a tile floor, but I'm not sure any other stand would be better at this. On carpet, the included spikes make it sit very solidly, although I'd still put a rachet strap around the speaker just for extra protection! The included accessories are basically free (and then some!) as these monitors MSRP for way above the package price as it is. Thanks guys!!!
