You are more correct than I -- the 2d two are incorporated in the Andra II's I had (2 Morel 6 inch 166 midsrange drivers, 2 Dynaudio 12 inch woofers in a pressure-loaded push/push (isobaric) configuration & up top, a Dynaudio Esotar tweeter).

Thanks

ATC, Dynaudio, VOLT, Seas, Morel, Accuton, Focal, Eton..

This is gonna digress to a bit of DIY..

IF you know the drivers

IF you know the Cabinet Volume & Design

IF you know the Crossover Network

Then, You can potentially produce a very similar result.

Another Dynaudio


Quote:
Dynaudio Professional's new MV3E main monitoring solution ($27,300) combines the company's driver and cabinet technology with amplification and signal processing from Lab.gruppen and Lake. The speakers are powered by a single 4-channel Lab.gruppen PLM10000Q amplifier, using the integrated, active crossover between LF and MF by Lake, while passively filtering the MF/HF crossover point.

MV3E is made from carefully selected materials (including handmade drivers) and offers 4,700 watts per monitor and Dynaudio's ESOTAR˛ aluminum voice coil driver technology. The monitors also offer a frequency response of 22 to 21k Hz and greater than 133dB SPL.

Exclusive Lake processing algorithms include raised cosine equalization, linear-phase crossovers and Limiter Max Loudspeaker Protection.

I wonder how the studios go about choosing their speaker systems? Most revealing speakers, most musical, full-range response?

They choose loudspeakers solely on performance and flat frequency response. Moreover their rooms are specifically designed for creating audio (music) where you living room or listening room is not.

Afterthought, if you are listening to Music on different speakers than the mastering engineer, are you not getting the true representation of that engineer? In other words when we mix and match all out stuff, we get a translation.. and we don't know how far from the truth we are. Most think, if it sounds good then, ignorance is bliss.

And it's most likely just for show.
