Advice on home speakers

fair enough, but monitors are designed to expose any flaws in a mix, they don't flatter the music like hi-fi and many nearfields won't give you a heavy bass that so many people like to hear.

for listening to music, decent hi-fi is less fatiguing on the ear and will usually give the better sound in a household environment.

mastering house have many thousands of £££ worth of acoustic treatment, before they even switch on the montoring, and the cost of speakers for mastering runs way beyond that of the home hi-fi set up by a very long way.

what they hear is what you hear isn't correct unless you also have a mastering studio.

their job is to make mixes work on your (and every otherperson's) hi-fi.
