Bad idea to use pro Tannoy speakers for home use?

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? :^)

@Map - The V300s are definitely heavy (75lbs each) but they are supposedly designed to perform equally well lying in any position (including on their side), so figured I could do that. Or, I have options to mount them or otherwise in completely inaccessible places. The Magenepans - wife wants them gone - if we could rubberize (for baby proofing) the entire house, she would have me do that as well! There is also the issue of him ruining them which I would expect would be quite easy. Anyway...I've had them forever and they are hard to find at place for because of their size, etc.

@Bombaywalla- thanks for the post. A trial would be great, but they are coming from a private seller. I currently own two SS amps that I would try and pair. One is an integrated Krell with 150w/channel and the other is a McIntosh with 200w. The 500w per channel recommendation for the V300s is what was worrying me (making me think I don't have the equipment to handle them). I don't want to have to buy another amp! (or sell mine and find another)

I also worried that I wouldn't get low volumes out of these at all because of what they're made for (BIG spaces).

And the other concern is that I should just buy consumer Tannoys or a straight set of DMT IIs which I found available. As in, maybe I'm going overboard with the V300s. They just seem like such a steal...the cost now vs new cost is ridiculously discounted.

@Islandmandan - I thought about the custom enclosure thing and then convinced myself that I would never get around to it! I already have a bunch of other projects around collecting dust so to speak!

Update: I ended up buying them - just picked them up today.

Will report back on the sound once I hook them up and spend some time with them.

Thanks!
