What Speakers Do Audio Insiders Own?


I'd be very interested in learning what speakers professional musicians, recording engineers, and other "insiders" own in their personal audio systems, which they paid for themselves. Any "inside" information?

I know that in the past these individual artists bought/used ATC speakers

Barbara Streisland
AC/DC
Dire Straits
Simple Minds
Suzanne Vega
John Williams
Roger Taylor
Sting
Pink Floyd Studio
Sade
Neneh Cherry
10 CC
Lou reed
Tears for Fears
Mike Oldfield
Robert Plant

The list of studios using ATC is much longer by about a factor of 10 ( possibly because famous artists/individuals may prefer not to make public which speakers they buy)

for a recent list of the latest buyers of ATC speakers see this link;

musicians know that you lose much of the music once it goes into the recording. what hi-fi gives us are 'paintings' of music.... but musicians get the real thing. that being said, there are musicians who enjoy hi-fi, but most of them recognize it as representations only, not absolutely accurate reproduction.... and they don't take it (hi-fi) tooooo seriously.
Until recently (when I put a small system together for her) my girlfriend (pianist) was listening to CDs on her DVD player through her TV. Home audio, good or bad, pales in comparison & to her it wasn't worth spending much (any) money on.
