Some 40 years of actually balancing sound for a living tells me different.
That you've no experience of the obvious differences just tells me you
have ears of cloth.


I am reminded of the advertising campaign used by JBL for several years
where they claimed that since the majority of US pop/jazz music studios
used JBL monitors in their for control rooms - it was only logical to
use JBL brand speakers in your home, in order to hear the sound as the
engineers intended.

There is also some truth in that. Using exactly the same loudspeakers is
likely to give the most consistent results. But saying all models from one
maker sound the same is nonsense. Even before you take into account the
room acoustics.

Luckily, most audiophiles ignored this patent absurdity and used much
better speakers instead.

You think you need to be an 'audiophile' to realise advertising is not
always 100% true?

You must lead a *very* sheltered life.
