Do studio monitors work well at home?


I have been reading on how some studio monitors can sound very natural and accurate. However, most of these studio monitors are being listened to at an average distance of 4 feet. I was wondering if anyone uses studio monitors in a home setting where the listening distance is over 4 feet...and how do they sound? I am not able to go down to my local stereo shop and do this test myself as the shops around my area do not stock studio monitors. Thanks in advance.

Hello Imstar. I use a wonderful monitor that has it's ancestry as a BBC studio monitor. It is the Harbeth Compact 7ES. It is being used in both small and large rooms with equal success, and is not really very "compact" with an 8 inch driver. Harbeth still makes studio monitors ranging in size from very small to huge. If you are curious, type in "harbeth" in the search engine. Also you can check out harbeth.com. Good luck. Charlie
