Hi folks,
A big hello from me as I'm new here
I have a pair of goodman active 75 speakers such as these on ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Goodmans-Active-75-Speakers-/230816908929?pt=UK_AudioVideoElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_HiFiSpeakers&hash=item35bdc28681
that I am using for mixing down at the moment. They are loud enough but do have bass and treble controls so are not proper studio reference monitors.
I am just wondering what really is the main difference between proper small studio monitors and the goodmans speakers that I am using?
I realise that that studio monitors give a flat response so as not to colour the sound in any way, and my question is, isn't it possible to adjust the bass and treble on my speakers so as to obtain more or less the same effect?
Is there other differences that I am not aware of, between ordinary active speakers and studio monitors?
I was thinking of buying these,

But If I though it was just a case of calibrating the bass and treble on my existing speakers then I would just continue to use them instead.
Many Thanks for any advice and pointers in the right direction.
Kind regards
Joe
