Sorry Timtim, I HAVE to disagree.
While in Nashville, a block from Music Row managing a store frequented by Nashville types, stars and engineers and producers...I had occassion to listen to studio monitors, and more important have many of those folks do the same.
Invariably, they'd remark that the home versions of speakers 'sounded better', and 'more lifelike', 'more realistic'.
Studio monitors I've known are not good at reproducing the input signal. I've had more than one engineer tell me...."I know they're not good, but I know what THEY sound like and I can engineer around them."
My question was always, 'Why start off with that kind of handicap.'
Good listening.
