So the very concept of reference monitors(speakers or phones),
is a myth? It's whatever something sounds best on?
"Reference" monitors, are supposed to have a frequency
response that is more "flat", or neutral, than your average consumer
grade speakers, which will usually have peaks in the high or lows.
As opposed to "check mix" monitors like NS-10s or Horrortones which are
likely intended to emulate consumer speakers.
On the gripping hand there are people who use monitors with known colorations
to listen to very specific things.
Which is why it's not surprising to see four or five sets of monitors in a
studio.
