I recently spent a few hours and several beers when fellow AVS'r Holt allowed me into his home with his awesome pup rocco to demo his Ascend Sierra Towers with RAAL because I am in the market for some towers and a new center. We both decided that the Sierra's were quite revealing which made poorly mixed albums sound, well, POORLY..
Now in a recording atmosphere I would want the monitor to tell me how my mix in translating out of the box however, in a HT/Music room set up, I am not sure I want my speakers telling me me favorite band or movie basically sounds like poop because the A1 mixed/engineered it poorly or it was clipped at a mastering suite.
SO.. I am reaching out to see what the opinions are of other fellow audio lovers out there would want in there ideal home theater/music room set up.. Do you want to truth? (revealing) or do you want to be kinda lied to? (colored)
Me personally, I think for listening enjoyment, I would like a bit of color to maybe translate poorly mixed albums to still sound enjoyable to my ears, I mean after all, not everyone can afford Alan Parsons to engineer their albums..
