“Studio monitor speakers are essentially designed to reveal a true picture of the audio you're creating. Whether you like this warts and all approach or not, this uncompromising picture of your mix balance means you can make critical choices about what might need changing, confident that what you’re hearing will translate to all other playback systems.
Because of this, monitors can be less pleasant-sounding, and in some cases more fatiguing, than standard hi-fi speakers, where the tonal balance is designed to enhance music for the average listener. So while a decent pair of studio monitor speakers may shine a light on some of the less optimal elements of your mix, they'll also help you fix them and enhance your abilities as a producer.”
