I've been some some mixing of my band and thought some decent studio monitors were *cough* justified.
I am now onto my fourth set and not really sure what to say. They all promise the earth but all sound different. One of them must be lying.
1. Yamaha HS5. Had to get a sub HS8S Subwoofer because they have no bass response at all.
2. Tannoy Gold 7. I like the idea of concentric speakers to give better stereo image. Since Tannoy is now owned by Behringer everyone just piles on to them but I thought they sounded OK.
3. Adam T7V. These have to be the best, don't they. They use the fancy tweeter. I don't know that they sound better than the Tannoys and the tweeters don't seem to have that good a stereo image either.
4. ILoud MTM Reference. They have a built in DAC and come with a microphone to perform automatic REM EQ. They only have miniature 3" speakers but *magic* fixes that. Surely these have to be OK.
They do seem to have the best stereo image. They are also a lot brighter.
But who knows, they all sound different. They quickest test is to just play white noise and flip between two speakers. In theory, all these flat response, full frequency, brutally honest studio monitors should sound the same, but no, they don't.
