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!

@kenjit    If you don't like speakers that measure flat and reproduce music signals accurately but prefer flawed designs with peaks and troughs and distortion because the programme then sounds (to you) more exciting than what studio engineers require for their professional work, then that is your choice.

But don't come here promulgating it to sensible people like the rest who have posted.
