Which type of speakers (Hi-fi vs monitor) will give a closer experience of being in a concert hall if a CD of a live recording is being played?
I am talking about just the old school CD. =)
Studio monitors provide accurate representation which is very detailed and revealing. On the other hand, Hi-Fi speakers modify the sound to make them "sound better", I don't know which type is better for listening to classical music.

Recall, "Hi-Fi" is an abbreviated form of "High fidelity". High fidelity audio reproduction means striving to reproduce a source audio signal as exactly as possible. With that understanding, a Hi-Fi speaker *should* try and reproduce the given signal as cleanly and uncolored as possible; otherwise, it is hardly a Hi-Fi speaker if it (purposely) modifies the source signal.
You should give Adam F5 or F7 a try. They're the most affordable in their line and I think they're absolutely fantastic speakers for their price.
