I'm a total Hi-Fi newb addicted to music. Looking for a simple, quality setup to listen to all styles of music in a small office room.
But I'm wondering if this setup may be too good for general listening pleasure. I ask because these studio monitors are marketed to professional audio engineers, not general listeners. Do most Hi-Fi gurus prefer studio monitors for listening? One guy said he got fatigued quickly from listening to such high quality studio monitors. Just wondering if this setup is wrong for it's application.
I'm also considering Focal XS Book if they're better suited for general music listening (sexy & compact).
Thanks for any help. I've been going nuts trying to decide on this and just want to enjoy some quality sound.
