Default Hi-Fi versus monitor speakers

IME studio monitors tend to have more dynamic range and stronger

Not any of those I like - perhaps that's why I so dislike the Little Red
Tannoys. I balance for what I hear - and having over bright speakers means
the end result would be dull. And having to listen to over bright speakers
is terribly tiring. But of course I'm referring to GP monitors rather than
pop ones. Indeed, early BBC designs had a deliberate mid range suck out to
counteract the results of close micing.
