...in my experience, are small without any low bass extension and are used for nearfield listening in a particularly designed acousticly-treated environment.

Not exactly what audiophiles want for home use.

If they're so "accurate" and musical why don't more audiophiles - besides you and perhaps a few others - use them?

Can't say I've ever heard - or heard of - a studio monitor in a home environment in all my years as an audiophile and working with audio clubs.
