What does the term monitor mean to you, in the audio/video space? What makes a speaker a monitor? At first I thought a monitor was just a small speaker, but then I saw the B&W N801s labeled studio monitors. Those things are huge. So maybe it's not size. Alon has a monitor line that includes the Exotica, Tuscany, Capri, Petite, and Rascal. It places other models, like the Phalanx, Circe, and Centris in other non-monitor categories. How is the distinction made?
On the video side, my impression is that a monitor is a display device without any sort of tuner built-in. But then I've seen the term applied to some televisions, as well. So I'm confused there, too.
Thoughts?
