Perhaps I have an unusual idea of what most studios use. I have to admit my perception is based on speakers I have sold recording engineers and studio owners around Nashville and not based on facility research. They bought five of the nine Klipsch KPT-456 sets I had for sale.
Yeah you may be right about the SLV side of things as the gear I get that has been in their tender hands is often seriously abused. The engineers and studio people have been another story though.
I have gravitated more and more to classical especially stringed instruments as a test of fidelity and of course enjoyment.
One of the great things about better pro gear is that they are more room environment neutral and have the ability to overwhelm a bad acoustic environment over typical homeowner speakers. Plus the "sweet spot" is far larger. IF you can find them they are also often bargains because they just might not be pretty.
