Studio monitors
Speakers built to be judged by, not enjoyed with — the ones their makers sell in a professional catalogue. Nearly all are self-powered, most sit on a desk or a stand a metre from your face, and a few are the size of a wardrobe and get built into a wall. What they share is a design brief that puts accuracy ahead of flattery.
