Topic: Need help with loudspeaker

Dear Forum Members,

currently, I am using Pinaoteq with a headphone which works fine. I want to buy a loudspeaker which gives a good sound in a room with approx. 40qm. Obviously, there are two different "technologies" available.

On the one hand side, one can go for a so-called Monitor System, such as:
https://www.thomann.de/de/midfield_monitore.html

On the other hand side, one can go for a high-end HIFI loudspeaker, such as e.g.:
https://www.acoulab.eu/

I know that a so-called monitor is used in a studio setting. A HIFI loudspeaker is used for all kinds of music in a living room. I have no idea what the differences are. But I can say that I want a loudspeaker which produces the best natural piano sound, generated with Pianoteq. And I need an active loudspeaker.

Any help and explanation are welcome. Thank you very much.
Stephan

Re: Need help with loudspeaker

In fact Acoulab is not representative of the "hifi" world:

"About AcouLab
AcouLab was originally founded in 2018 in aims to bring modern approaches & technologies to a traditionally conservative high-end market, mainly focusing on active loudspeakers."

Their products will probably be very close to studio monitors...

A while ago the main difference between the two worlds were a more "neutral" sound and more robust construction for monitors than their hifi counterparts. But times are changing...
