That’s probably why most monitors look as sexy as a black brick.
A friend will tell you the unvarnished truth.
The difference between a Hi-Fi speaker and a studio monitor is like the difference between a fan and a friend. If something sounds off, they should let you know. Instead of complementing the source, studio monitors need to be detailed, neutral and reveal problems to the critical listener. In contrast, nearfield studio monitors are designed to be placed within a few feet of you in a small room that is close to dead, acoustically speaking. Hi-Fi speakers are meant to look and sound pretty. They come in fancy shapes and exotic wood finishes and are hyped for that full and rich musical sound. These speakers are built to fill a living room and should be listened to at a distance. There’s a reason why experts advise against using “ordinary” Hi-Fi loudspeakers for monitoring your audio. They’re not designed to please the discerning audiophile. Your microphone needs to flatter your voice. What you listen to most, is not supposed to sound good.
