I'm looking to upgrade my speakers (and amplifier). I'm currently using a cheap amplifier with two speakers I got for free from my neighbour 6 years ago.
I have noticed that almost everyone here on the forum recommends studio monitors. However, I do not need the really accurate representation for mixing purposes. At home (small student room), I mainly just jam with the Kemper and listen to music, so those 2 things need to sound good. I have read that often studio monitors can sound "sterile" because of their linearity. Another disadvantage of studio monitors would be their directivity, so it would only really sound good when I am sitting at my desk.
My worries are that a lot of music might not sound as good through monitors, as they are often (designed to be) unforgiving. Can anybody give some insight?
