Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?


Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?  Does that mean audiophile speakers are warm/colored and distorted?   If Studio Monitors main goal is low distortion, does that mean low distortion is not something audiophiles want?  They want what, high distortion?  "Pretty" sounding distortion?  Or find pretty sounding speakers that make bad recordings sound really good?  What is the point of searching out good recordings then?  They won't sound as intended on a highly colored distorted speaker!

Statements like this one make me chuckle. 
 

“Studio monitors were designed by people that dont understand how sound works”.

 

This after proclaiming there is no such thing as a studio monitor. And never a word of consideration that an audio engineer might be listening for things that an audiophile is not…which is clearly the case. As such, the tools used may differ appropriately.
