Studio monitors for everyday use, is that possible?

I don't know what or how you cook but I wouldn't just put that kind of equipment near my kitchen unless you have a powerful exhaust fan over the stove and oven everytime. I cook at high heat with carbon steel and cast iron, plus broiling or slow roasting with a basting sauce, and my exhaust fan needs to be taken down every few weeks for a thorough cleaning. Imagine where all that oil smoke ends up without an exhaust fan running - some of the crud might find its way to the speakers.

 

Even water evaporating from your food can still be a problem, although at least this can be dealt with using dehumidifiers.

 
well good thing for me i don't cook as enthusiastically as you do...

my speakers are well away from the elements.

  Hi I am on the verge of buying a pair of Studio Monitors, as I end up playing guitar through the computer all the time (Line6 UX1 and Bias FX). However, I also listen to music, play games and watch movies in the computer.
 
Right now I have a 2.1 Creative system (a very very cheap one), but I was considering using the Studio Monitors as computer speakers too, but many people says that Monitors are not good for listening to music, for example.
 
I am considering a pair of Mackie MR6mk3, if that helps.
 
Thank you

 
I listen to monitors all the time purely for recreational listening when I'm not mixing/mastering.  I have 2 sets in my home office and another pair in my living room.
 
Although I don't use Mackies.

My aunt next door doesn't fry on a wok nor sear steaks like I do but she still has the housekeeper wipe the exhaust fan every week. Even at lower temps you can have a lot of evaporation and even smoking oil. Before I had the exhaust fan and all the iron cookware I already had oil stains on the ceiling.

 

Trust me, if you so much as cook burgers even on an electric grill, you'd have fat and oil and juices in the air. At the very least put a fan somewhere near the cooking area to pull smoke away from the direction of the speakers if you don't have a powerful exhaust fan.
