90% of studios playback sounds terrible compared to a half decent
domestic HIFI , and most studios use terrible amps and speakers - so
that's no recommendation.

I use small professional mixing studio monitors and dedicated amp in my home
Hi-Fi setup. These speakers are very detailed and very clear. I have used
very few speaker systems over the years (domestic Hi-Fi speakers) that come
anywhere near my monitors and associated amp on most of the music I like to
play. In fact it is the case that I am quite happy with what I have got and
am not interested in chasing anything else.

Admittedly, my experience with small professional studio monitors is limited
to what I have, however, if my experience is anything to go by your
statement is incorrect with respect to "most studios use terrible amps and
speakers" as the speakers and amp I have are not considered to be anything
special.

I am sure there are people on this group who are professional audio/studio
people who also have "half decent domestic HIFI", and who are more qualified
to make statements re their own evaluation of domestic and professional
grades of audio reproduction equipment. What are you perceptions?
