Bad idea to use pro Tannoy speakers for home use?


This may possibly be a dumb question, but I found "pro" model Tannoys for sale, that seem to have the same drivers of much more expensive Tannoy home models. Specifically, I'm referring to Tannoy V300s.

Is there any reason I shouldn't use these speakers in a home environment? Apart from aesthetics which are arguably awful? They are referred to by Tannoy as sound reinforcement speakers and are apparently the same as used in the Sydney Opera House. I figure they must be high quality given that installation, but again - open to being told why I should walk away. I have other Tannoys - just need others to replace Magnepans going out the door (not suitable around my new baby).

Thanks in advance!

Its as good an idea as using any speakers you like that can be had for the right price.

You might want to give them a good cleaning with antiseptic wipes once home. Who knows where they've been? :^)
