But 'flat' often sounds wrong to the human ear. Where as 'peaks n
valleys' can sound more musical, more appealing, to certain
individuals.

Reference monitors aren't for sounding good, they are for understanding
what is going on with the mix. They may sound good, but they may also
make problems obvious which wouldn't be noticed on more colored speakers.

The big soffit-mounted monitors are intended to be loud and sound musical
and appealing. They are not for mixing, they are for playing back to the
customer.
