Default What exactly is a 'Monitor' speaker ?.

I think really most monitors have to be almost indestructible and that tends
to not make them accurate.
However, I think there is some mileage in my comment about rock music and
jbls.

I always thought that the generic term of monitor speaker was one that
sounded like it was the real sounds.



** No, it refers to *monitoring" real sounds - ie live mic signals.

It defines a purpose and the speaker must be suitable for that job.


It certainly seems to have meant that
in studios.



** Favourite studio monitors are mostly highly inaccurate.

JBL being among the worst, thick and coloured like tomato soup.


As for the Addams family of speakers, do you need to feed those with
Monster
cables perhaps?
