For years YAMAHA NS-10 was top choice for all studios, it was a standard… and I hated them… they had bad low end response and they had to be in a real almost perfect sweet spot to be accurate.

If you thought women shopping for shoes was a long strenuous task
Audiophiles looking for the accurate speaker is worst… To this day I haven’t found the right monitors, there is always something missing.

Checking mixes in a car system is OKAY, but I have another option… plug them in your tv audio inputs…if you can hear everything in the mix through those cheap speakers in a box…you can hear it everywhere!
