Yes, I recently was surprised in meeting an audio engineer in New York City who has spent a life time working for Sony, his home speakers were a self made single driver tower pair. Better then some $10,000 speaker pairs I have heard. The drivers were purchased from Radio Shack twenty years ago. This fellows job is to do audio mixes for TV programs. Aside from a grand piano, his audio equipment was a mix of mid fi, but he did have a VPI turntable. Perhaps in doing audio for a living, they want to give their ears a rest in off time.
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?
