Having followed multiple threads over the last 12 months on both audiophile and professional sound engineers forums it interests me that their seems to be very different want & priorities.
I appreciate that often audiophiles need something to fit into a residential home but beyond that surely good sound is good sound? What is interesting to me is hearing makes such as barefoot, Genelec, ATC, kii, d&d and others come up time and time again on the pro forums yet they don’t seem to get much space in the consumer world (atc excluded). As the professionals are helping make/create music that will then be reproduced on consumer orientated equipment why is there this difference?
I ended up buying a brand that is developing good traction in the professional mixing world as it suited my ear and preference in musical delivery but I appreciate this is not a common route.
