Or do you just use studio monitors?

I might... but then it comes back to the same question, how do you choose
them over all the studio monitors out there?

And how exactly does one define what speaker is a 'studio monitor'. The
main speakers in one of the world's most famous recording studios are
equally domestic hi-fi speakers, albeit a little on the expensive side.

Exactly. Although one can make some generalizations, that studio monitors
tend to be designed to be analytic rather than to hide faults with recordings
like some home speakers. And they tend to be designed to be difficult to
damage, as they are more apt to be abused by someone mispatching lines or
sending blasts of feedback in the studio than they would be at home.

Also, these days, studio monitors tend to be powered more often than not,
and home speakers tend not to be, although there are plenty of exceptions
to that rule too.

I'm mixing on speakers intended for home listening and I have a pair of
speakers sold for studio monitoring in my bedroom at home.
