Do studio monitors work well at home?


I have been reading on how some studio monitors can sound very natural and accurate. However, most of these studio monitors are being listened to at an average distance of 4 feet. I was wondering if anyone uses studio monitors in a home setting where the listening distance is over 4 feet...and how do they sound? I am not able to go down to my local stereo shop and do this test myself as the shops around my area do not stock studio monitors. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I used a pair of studio monitor as my main listening speakers a few years back thinking that if the pro uses it, then it must be a true "monitor". Unfortunately, the I soon find the studios monitors lacks personality. They sounded plain and boring. I can careless for their workmanship. I would not recommend using them unless you have a mixing console and you're about 2 feet away.
