...we are not worthy!

You are the smartest audiophile ever.

And you're so clever to use those perfect little studio monitors with both DSP AND a 10-band parametric equilizer.

And yes, that picture of them in the studio IS nearfield.

        These "toys" are better than most expensive high end speakers
        
        
        
        
        
        On such "toys" your favorite music is mixed and mastered.

          Stop showing a meaningless spec, Klaus!!! That stupid FR is anechoic and at only one output level. It also tells nothing about colorations from cabinet, drivers, crossover or amps!
          
          FR is NOT the most important spec because any speaker with DSP can measure like this and they DON'T sound the same. I have played with DSP for about 3 years now and tried it with MANY loudspeakers. It doesn't make them sound the same so FR is far from the only important criteria.
          
          Those "toys" probably are not very linear in the bass at all in terms of distortion. Compared to a Wilson speaker your bigger monitors are a joke in this regard.
