Yes, of course, some speakers are better than others. But there does come a
point of diminishing returns. First of all, nobody listens to music on
studio monitors other than people who work in studios. So, right away, there
is no way that what *you* hear is going to sound like what everyone else
hears. Speakers are tested in special rooms and with mics set in specific
locations and with specific mics. Unless your room is identical and your
ears are at exactly the same distance from the speaker as the test
equipment, what you hear will be somewhat different.

I'm not saying you should go out and buy cheap speakers. On the contrary, I
think you should buy good speakers and test results are one way of
evaluating the speakers. What others say is another. But unless you've
actually compared all available speakers in *your* studio, can you really
say for sure you've found the best pair?

Anyway I agree with you - mostly - but I would not blanketly accept that if
you pay more money, you'll get better speakers. It only increases your
chances of getting a better speaker.

With that said, I wasn't really making the statement that you thought I was,
I was responding to Uzo's statement. What Uzo said was:

<<
I have a pair of dynaudio acoustic BM6As, and they are absolutely spot on.
whatever I mix on them is going to sound exactly the same anywhere else I
play them...
>>

He said that it sounds *exactly* the same anywhere. That's clearly bull and
I was catching him in a, well, untruth. The truth is that it will sound
different, to some degree, on any other speaker system it is played through.
