Monitor and monitors
(I have a pair of what I prefer to call high-quality monitors)
I do use speakers when I can, but it's usually impracticable not because of embarassment but because we have conflicting sonic space demands here at home - I like to listen to things at high volume, other people like things to be quiet. So, I generally don't.
As for the 'entourage' - for the most part I don't mind, though it depends on what it is. I don't think I want to watch any HMVs on this with my mom in the room

The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…
