Are you suggesting that the studio engineer expects the mix they settle on, to sound predictably different on playback, than what they hear initially? I gather the ATCs are not made for listening and are very analytical compared to a home stereo. Certainly they take into account some preconceived typical speaker voicing. I can't think of why they wouldn't use similiar sounding speakers albeit nearfield etc.
I have read here and elsewhere that they record for playback in a car. Then it would make more sense, I suppose, for them to emulate an average automobile's audio system/acoustics (while running) to make the best mix. Classical music may not be lumped into that thinking.
