most accurate loudspeakers....

I agree with Rcprince-Dunlavy's are ONE of the most accurate speakers make around. Of course in used market since the Co went out of business.

Agreed. Duntech Sovereigns are tremendously well respected, as are the V's.

Most of the producers and big studios use ATC while they record and mix.>>

where did you get this idea?

I don't find them flat actually, i find them less detailed in the midrange than some speakers. But, whatever someone is used to works. A LOT of records were mixed on altec 604's after all.

i have yet to be in a studio big or small and seen 'any' post work on 'any' audio track done with anything that resembles something considered 'audiophile'.....the 'room' must truly be the thing, and the mixes (and opinions) from engineer to engineer are as varied as opinions on this thread. the shear numbers would suggest that jbl dominates professional circles, but once again, what's used in the studio is just playback for whats already tampered with and altered anyway.

Quite true. Some studios, such as Crystalphonic cost five MILLION dollars - so there is no way they resemble a home Hi-Fi!

However, many sound engineers are not beyond the semi-religious kind of simple tweaking and attentioin to minor details that is normally associated with audiophiles, such as what an amp sits upon, or what kind of wire runs between a woofer and an amplifier!

So I don't think you can dismiss this group, if anything they are surely more discerning buyers than people who have a day job and come home to their system only in the evening/weekends. Here is a great example of the use of Shakti pads, Van den Hull cable rewiring of speakers and many other tweaks that highly respected sound engineers get up to on a boat...as the sailor said quote, "Now ain't that a hole in the boat"!
