because you all aren't having enough fun already, I fancy throwing a cat among the pigeons. What is better - a more accurate loudspeaker or a loudspeaker that somewhat resembles the speakers used in a typical (what's that?) mastering studio?
In my mind, perhaps the latter. OK, this doesn't always hold true (NS10s are probably a good example), but I have heard music reproduced on much lauded, highly accurate loudspeakers that just sounds, well, off. Could this be because the speakers in the recording studio weren't as perfect?
In a perfect world everyone would be using perfect loudspeakers, but in an imperfect world with recordings made on imperfect gear on imperfect environments, perhaps you want to approximate an average studio response to get reproduction that sounds correct.
TL;DR I wonder how far studio engineers can really hear past/through the deficiencies of their speakers, I have my doubts it is that possible. What studios want is a speaker that 'translates' well to as many hi-fi speakers as possible, perhaps as enthusiasts what we want is a loudspeaker that does the reverse, in that in 'translates' to as many studio setups as possible.....slight tangent I know, just thinking out loud, feel free to go back to bickering
