Audio Engineers HAVE to use different speakers than audiophiles because they have to mix and master the music to fit the variety of music systems than people buying the music will play it on, be it an audiophile system or an I-pod, and everything else in between. Also, audio engineers have to hear every detail to be able properly place it into the mix. When they listen to music, it's work. Consequently, their speakers have to be good enought TOOLS to assist them with that work. Generally an audiophile would not want to listen to such speakers because the level of detail would be way to intense for musical enjoyment (think clincal and sterile).
Why Do Audio Engineers Use Different Speakers?
I gather that audio engineers generally use different speakers than audiophiles. I hear they tend to use smaller self-powered speakers the majority of the time.
Other than the appearance of the box and the smaller room size they are likely to be in, why wouldn't an audiophiles want to use the same speaker?
