There are sooooo many variables involved in the home audio chain from an original recording to what ultimately goes into your ears it helps explain the incredible variety of sound reproduction equipment we have available to us. There simply is NO absolute "target" to hit in home audio. What counts is what combination of equipment, setup and room you can make sound satisfying for the majority of the music you like to play. Usually the fuller the range of your speakers, the closer they can play at realistic volumes without noticeable distortion and the less detrimental interference from your room environment the better. Enjoy!!
Are most recordings so bad it's not worth spending large on speakers?
In my interest in finding a speaker with a more lifelike sounding speaker than most monopole - e.g. (bipole, dipole, omnis) I emailed Morrison at Morrison Audio about his omni speakers, which for full range are around $14k. I explained I use my speakers with my TV, and to listen to folk, jazz, blues, some rock.
His response re my music choices, was, "The recordings are dreadful in terms of a lifelike reproduction. You needn’t spend so much on speakers. A monopole pattern is just fine since that is what the recordings are tailored for."
