That is a good point.

Yes I have always heard good things about Polk Audio, but not sure if I
have ever listened to their products. 

Back in the 80s I always wanted a pair of Cerwin Vega's, but never had
the money. These days I am not sure if they are still considered to be
good speakers or if they are even made anymore. 

 AA> Nothing beats listening to music in the open air.

Oh definitely. And one thing I am learning about IEMs and headphones
probably applies to speakers as well is that different speakers sound
better for different things. 

I have some Shure SE535's that are beyond great when I am listening to
jazz or classical music. But they are not that great for the Metal
music that I enjoy most. Where as my Shure SE215's are great for Metal,
less so for Jazz and Classical. So I switch around depending on what
type of music I am listening too. Same with my overear headphones, I
have a set for jazz/classical and a set for Metal. 

I also have a pair of custom Ultimate Ears IEMs that are freaking
amazing and they are best with jazz and classical, but still sound
decent with metal music. But these are what I use(d) when mixing, where
sound details are a requirement.
