Audiophile speakers VS Studio Monitors.


Hi everyone. I record and mix music at home, and I'm wondering about audiophile speakers. Would you folks say that typically audiophile speakers will represent music more accurately than say Mackie, Dynaudio or ADAM studio monitors, for example?
I want to upgrade my KRK studio monitors, and I'm wondering if studio monitors are nothing more than a cheap imitation of audiophile speakers?
For recording and mixing, do you folks think I will do better with audiophile speakers like B&W Nautilus 805's than I would with some Mackie's?
Thanx,
Allen

I would go with a set of studio monitors which can get in the extreamley pricey range. I advise going to some local studios and expeeriencing their setups if possible. I know in Nashville its easy to get access to RCA Studio's A,B,C and Oceanway studio's whcih all have excellent set ups. Also for mixing music alot of people mix on several sets of speakers before the mastering is finished. Also they typically do it through headphones and several sets of speakers. Or this is what my friends tell me Im just a student at Belmont Univ. so I dont know as well as some other people I just know what Im told.
