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?

hoffman is also a collector and an audiophile. the two are very different. the hobby of collecting,swapping,upgrading, downgrading,and arguing about different components has no relationahip to the music or recording industry, or to most music nuts and collectors. one of the most knowlegable music people i know has a 20 to 30 year old system consisting of old series bose 901's/crown gear that looks like a truck ran over it/an old kenwood turntable/and an old first generation phillips cd player. he would rather get a root canal than discuss components. different strokes
