Speakers are a matter of personal choice, but...

... as an ex-broadcaster also involved in the recording industry, I have to say that the challenge in finding the perfect speaker(s) for a studio/control room is to find a system that doesn't soothe the sound flatteringly, that is to say with as flat a response curve as possible. This is the only way to judge to quality of a recording. If the playback is later altered to please the listener, it's fine. But, since various music require various "colors" (or equalization), it is important to have a system that remains flat to start with...

An overly pleasing, cajoling speaker is like salt: you can always add to it, but you cannot take it back!
Cheap speakers are usually shiny in the middle and too round in the bass.

This is to respond to some recent posts in other locations like "General Discussion".
