That is a difficult question to answer. In studios often several speakers are used during the mix: A small pair on the top of the mixing console and a larger pair built into the wall (soffit mounting). Other studios will just have one large pair on the console.For the pair situated on the mixing console, the time of the reflection off the top of the console will be much earlier (with correspondingly higher first dip frequency) than a typical stand-mounted or floor-standing speaker in a living room.
Of course, then this raises the argument about replaying the recording in one's home which is not the same electronics, speakers, room, etc. as the studio used for that particular recording. The sound at home will never be the same as at the studio, let alone all studios!
