A friend's studio go-to was the ProAc 100. They supplemented them with nearfield ATC SCM25a, later updated to ATC SCM45a soffit mounted supplemented by B&W 805. Another studio uses soffit SCM110asl and SCM25a & Yamaha nearfield. Most studios have guest recorders and mixers visiting, so they need the speakers visiting engineers want. Another engineer travels with their DSP Genelecs. They all have Auratones too.There is the only sure way to find if someone honestly believes in specific speaker quality or just pretend: through the money spent. Let's see who bought mid- and far-field monitors with their money: brand and model an what they replaced. I did buy SCM100A to replace B&W 802D. Who's next?
My engineer friend describes the ATCs as revealing problems in the mix.
Most people would say the ATC 3" midrange with their crossover design is very different from their speakers without it. That is why we would like someone to lend Amir a SCM25A or up in the range with that tweeter.
It would be good data to do an impulse response measurement for every transducer.
