A deep & serious look into Speakers for your Home Studio (or fancy professional studio if you prefer). I talk about what Studio Monitors are and why they might be better. I also look at the more important realities of Real World Monitoring & Translation. This understanding makes decent HiFi (Audiophile) speakers solid workhorses for studios and this can be a lot cheaper. Even allowing you to make the most of what you have right now.
