No answer works unless you've first treated the
listening area to substantially remduse unevenesses in how any speakers will
sound. Obvious example: one speaker facing a full bookcase which
absorbs sound, another a window which reflects it. Your equipment layout
must be aligned to minimize reflections as well.
Room size matters as well as where you will be
sitting and how close to the speakers.
Getting this resolved should ALWAYS be the
first step. The cost of doing should be part of the speaker budget
for any studio.
Only then should you consider what speakers to
buy.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Monitor speakers for
78 rpm audio restoration?
Any recommendations for speakers to be used in a sound lab that restores
primarily old, worn 78rpm discs? I'm not doing restorations to go on
commercial CD reissues. I'd like to keep it under $500, but might be convinced
to go higher.
Thanks,
