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!

Can someone answer this lease? Who is this Kenjit person? I have read many incredibly stupid posts of his/hers here on Audiogon. Is he/her the resident troll?

I wonder what a 803D2 (with all their colors and distortions.) is doing in a symphony suite.

That is not a symphony concert, it's scoring session.  You can tell from the Decca Tree mic arrangement up high behind the conductor.  

There were several major scoring engineers who used to use B+W for monitoring in the past.  They two best known are now on ATC.  I suspect this is an older picture of an Alan Meyerson (Hans Zimmer's guy) scoring session LA.

Quested Studio Monitors would put a lot of high end speakers to shame,

They are just wooden boxes with drivers in them. You cant expect groundbreaking performance by using the same old technology.
