A Studio Monitor is a professional tool designed to inspect & analyze several elements of the components of the recording: and make adjustments to it. These factors can include detecting noise from the microphone, or unwanted noise from instruments or voice, panning tracks, adjusting tone, etc).
The studio monitor is sometimes powered, designed to be listened to in the near field, and also neutral, - often sitting on the mixing console. Because a lot of the detail of a speaker is in the upper registers, a good studio monitor might sound "harsh" as it will not mask upper treble energy and/or noise: as the engineer listens for problems.
The home speaker is designed to enhance the recording and put the listener "there." Sometimes, (complete system), is designed to create the illusion of locating instruments and instrument players in certain locations in the "mix." The home speaker often is designed to enhance & "sweeten" the mid-range where most of the music is. Many home speakers are also designed to mitigate sibilance, and treble harshness.
This doesn't mean that people haven't effectively used studio monitors in home situations, or vice versa. It also doesn't mean that studio monitors can't be bloomy in the mid-range, or that home speakers can't be very neutral and recessed in the mid-range.
"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
I had the feeling that the best pro alternative to home audio would be "mastering monitor" instead of "studio monitor".
The use cases and placement would be more similar.
