Flat frequency response is the main reason. Hi fi speakers or multi media/computer speakers are often colored, quite a lot on the high end and they tend to lack mids. You won't be able to mix accuretly on those unless you really can makeup for the difference. It won't translate well to other playback systems etc. -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of HF Sent: Sunday, December 17, 2006 12:04 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] monitors verses multimedia speakers Stupid question for you all.
