Studio monitors were manufactured thinking you would put them on a stand and that is how they perform their best. Well, most people say you should get studio monitor stands, but do you need them? But which is the best way to make your investment pay off in the best possible manner? This is, perhaps the main reason why people who work in music production spend thousands of dollars in monitoring equipment (yeah, good headphones too). Studio monitors are great for having a clear, unbiased, and flat idea of what you have just recorded.
