Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?

Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?  Does that mean audiophile speakers are warm/colored and distorted?   If Studio Monitors main goal is low distortion, does that mean low distortion is not something audiophiles want?  They want what, high distortion?  "Pretty" sounding distortion?  Or find pretty sounding speakers that make bad recordings sound really good?  What is the point of searching out good recordings then?  They won't sound as intended on a highly colored distorted speaker!

“Mastering studios are where you are more likely than not to find these audiophile type speakers such as TAD, B&W etc”

Fair comment Kenjit ……..

 I use a pair of Geithain RL901K actives, in my 3rd year with these, replaced Tannoy Legacy Ardens.

 I certainly get all the audiophile attributes with these Cardiod speakers, used by at least one professional mastering engineer I’m aware of who definitely appreciates the sound for work and pleasure.
