Monitors


Few people choose to use professional monitors and associated equipment for home hi fi. The reasons have been well debated before.

BUT  Is it possible that upgrading an audiophile system relentlessly including such things as silver wiring can drive towards the slightly uncomfortable (in the home) monitor sound?

I guess I was too harsh, but I just thought that your question was a bit silly. Anyone who tries to upgrade the internals of their home speaker is obviously not trying to make it sound worse or less listenable than before, even though that might be the unfortunate outcome in some cases.

What prompted you to ask the question? My apologies for the curt response.

OK

Can we first agree that few home audiophiles use studio monitoring equipment as it does not suit the home environment.

Part of the reason that people don't use studio monitors for home listening is that nowadays, the majority of them (the monitors that is) are active and most people already have amplifiers and so are more interested in passive speakers.

Secondly, a large number of studio monitors - even some fairly full frequency ones - are designed for nearfield listening - which does not suit most home listening environments.
