Thanks!

Rea.
Yes.

Dunlavy SM1 studio monitors.

The main difference is that you can buy audiophile speakers and have the company tailor the wood finish to match the decor of your living room.

Studio monitors come only in ugly colors and finishes(usually black).

Components wise they are the same. You'll here guys say that audiophile speakers are not as rugged, not built for the wear and tear...blah,blah,blah.grudge

Speakers are speakers.

I can tell you though that most modern audiophile designs are hyped from the begining. So finding a true monitor for mixing will be search.

But there are tons of candidates for consideration.
