The topic of this thread is "Listening at home like in a studio". I do believe YOU were the one who wrote it.

Before this thread totally derails, you might want to look into Bowers & Wilkins, OP. I have the old 601 but they're famously in Abbey Road for surround sound. I'm gathering that you want a 'domestic-looking' speaker and those qualify, in my opinion.

Q: "I am looking into replacing some consumer stereo speakers with proper studio monitors for my home studio. I understand that studio monitors have a neutral, flat response whereas consumer speakers introduce variations in frequency response designed to be more acoustically appealing, for lack of a better term."
A: "Consumer vs pro speakers.
What is 'correct' is that consumer speakers are built to please listeners, while pro speakers are (more often than not) built to be 'true'. In other words, consumer speakers are 'coloured', while pro speaker strive not to be such.
My experience shows that people just get used to their speakers and you have to remember that enormous amount of songs where mixed on the Yamaha NS10s, which were never intended for professional use and by all means have rubbish specs and a non-impressive sound."
So much for Avantone CLA-10.

What does it have to do with it? Speakers with flat frequency characteristics - this is the topic of the thread. Normal (regular) speakers do not have a flat frequency response. Flat enough. Most of the "Regular" speakers have still more flat response than your room. Why so arrogant ?

My room is not so bad. I have 18 panels and several bags with sound absorbing material lying in the corners.

No i haven't yet. For two reasons. I don't record or mix music. It's not ready yet.

Yeah, it's kind of a PITA getting set up and learning how to use REW but IMHO, it's really worth it to see what you are dealing with. Even if you only listen to playback, you can use it to tweak your speaker and listening position as well as adjust absorber placement if possible.

I should add that it's never too early to measure your room. It's even suggested to measure it empty and before you do any treatment. I admit that it is a bit of a bother but you'll get data that you can't ever easily acquire at a later date.

I am going to do it this way. Add additional panels. Buy new speakers. Take measurements.
Measuring an empty room? It is possible. I have two rooms that are identical. The latter is almost empty.

Even tho they're "identical" I think there's still somewhat difference in measurements, even when the rooms are empty. What size your room(s) is? I still highly recommend Neumann kh120's. Or if you have little over 3k to spend, Neumann kh310's.

My room is about 13 x 16 ft. Not too big. But that's why I need to add panels.
