I always thought that the generic term of monitor speaker was one that
sounded like it was the real sounds. It certainly seems to have meant that
in studios. However speakers that on paper are flat can often sound awful
and speakers with lumpy responses can sound nice.
As for no fronts. Many speakers were made like this. A stupid idea as in
normal household use they can easily get damaged. Celestion JBL and many
others have made them like this in the past.
Most rock engineers like a forward mid to treble as they are deaf. Then
they get the balance right for the rest of us.

As for the Addams family of speakers, do you need to feed those with Monster
cables perhaps?

Somewhere, I read an article about a musician (maybe) and
he was asked what his favourite gadgets were.

One on his replies was his Adams monitor speakers.

This seems to be a German company and the only thing I
can see is that they don't have grilles at the front
(so how do you keep the dust out ?). They seem to have
an unusual tweeter, not the usual cone arrangement.

Other than that, what is the difference between one
and a 'normal' speaker.

Does anyone own Adams speakers ?. Are they any good ?.
