Most "Ruthlessly Revealing" Speakers. Your opinion


I would be interested to know what speakers folks think are the most revealing.

Ok go at it!

If you really want to reveal, then you are probably better staying away from 'hifi' speakers and go for studio monitors. Studio monitors are designed to reveal everything when engineering a track, hifi speakers try to enhance/embelish the sound. For a medium to high SPLs I'd go for Genelec's, for lower levels, something like PMC's which I've found in a number of mastering suites.

Personally, I'd stick with hifi speakers for home use, monitors sound fanatastic with a good mix, but will pick out all the flaws in a bad one. I love the Genelecs in the studio over all the other monitors, at home I like Spendors.
Opera speakers with diamond tweeter. These speakers pick up up all kinds of miking "games", filters used during recording. This speaker was far beyond any B&W (dunno about their diamond tweeter), JM Labs, or studio monitor I have ever heard.
Made most of my favorite recordings unlistenable. But then again, not everyone buys a stereo to play music they like.
i agree with newbee on this one.....are you refering to "bright" or "neutral/resolving"...

if neutral/resolving then i nominate the audio physic libra.... very revealing... made me a believer out of cable stands, power cords, isolation devices... they have to be tweaked within 1/16 " placement or it doesnt happen...
