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?

I use Altec 604-8G studio monitors (1975) with a pair of McIntosh tube monos and to me they reproduce music very well. Very realistic to my ears. I guess that is why there are so many manufacturers of speakers. I believe a great deal of the music from the 50-70s were mastered using Altec 604. Since most of the music I enjoy is from that era, they just sound right to me. I can and do listen for hours.

I am no speaker expert, far from it actually. But I do know what sounds good to me and falls within my budget.
