Bad idea to use pro Tannoy speakers for home use?

@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!

I like they way they look. Question is do they go deep enough in the bass or are subs needed? I live in Canada and don't seem to be able to find any steals on them around here.
