Why Do Audio Engineers Use Different Speakers?


I gather that audio engineers generally use different speakers than audiophiles. I hear they tend to use smaller self-powered speakers the majority of the time.

Other than the appearance of the box and the smaller room size they are likely to be in, why wouldn't an audiophiles want to use the same speaker?

The same reason nobody drives an F1 car down the interstate. For the engineer the speaker is a precision tool used to to manufacture a product. Unike the audiophile listening pleasure does not enter into the equation.
