Default Audible Difference Between Monitors

In your experience, how common is it for monitors with the same tolerances and a similar frequency response to sound perceptibly different?


Very common.
The on-axis frequency response is a nice enough thing but doesn't tell you
very much about how a speaker performs in a given room, because many
listeners are off-axis and much of the lower frequencies are coming to you
by room reflections even if you are on-axis.

And -nobody- ever plots speaker distortion in a useful way.
