One thing I've always heard in Monitor v Studio discussions is that some people definitely like the aluminum tweeter of the Studios over the softer ones of the Monitors. I am one of those people. My only comparisons were between a Monitor CC370 and a Studio CC470, and hands down I prefer the brighter, broader, wider stage and range of the Studio. A good sample track for me was Sheryl Crow's Globe Sessions over the 370 or the 470? - man, no brainer! Sing to me Sheryl!
I also agree that this is something of the law of diminishing returns. The 370 is a good speaker, and for twice the price the 470 ought to be darn good. But at a pure "value" comparison, I see the numbers aren't too convincing. But I do love what I hear. I'm thinking in a couple years I'll pick up a 570 and move this 470 to the rear center, but that's a long ways off yet. I'm still in 5.1 land.
There you stood on the edge of your feather, expecting to fly...
