UltraNoob: Studio monitors or hi fi speakers?


Starting from scratch, I'm going to start acquiring home recording gear. Is it possible to use hi fi speakers for monitors? Vice versa? Upside? Downside?

Is it possible to use hi fi speakers for home recording studio monitors?

Upside: Cheap, look nice

Downside: Be careful, as you can blow them up very easily with the dynamics from your recordings and live instruments/microphones. ( remember media sold commercially has dynamics that are carefully controlled and compressed )
