This might be a silly question but since studio monitors seem to excel over regular bookshelf speakers, why don't more people just opt to get monitors over bookshelves for their home theatre/music use?



I think it is because studio monitors excel at monitoring studios and bookshelves excel at filling a room but there's no reason one couldn't use a studio monitor for HT or stereo applications, they are just not designed to do it as well as systems that are designed as such.
