Does Anyone Use Pro Audio Speakers as their Main?


I'd guess most people here are using high quality domestic loudspeakers powered by some well regarded amplifier for their listening pleasure; but there must be some who have bravely ventured into the realm of active studio monitors in pursuit of greater sonic accuracy as promised by the likes of Genelec, Neumann, Yamaha, JBL, Mackie, Kali Audio ect.


It could be of interest to the rest of us if they are willing to share their experiences of how they found this transition into the world of Pro Audio.

While they are not the mains, I run Genelec 8341A's in my office where I do perhaps even more listening than on the main system, and I've been impressed with how well they hold up to, even at times exceed the McIntosh, Burrmester and SF Il Cremonese system in our den.  

The 8341s, fronted by a Lumin U1 mini, Mutec MC3+, and my work Mac Pro desktop bring 95% of the musicality and detail retrieval of our main system, lacking only in max SPL and bass extension below 35Hz when compared to the much larger, more expensive and complex 7' stack of McIntosh and Burrmester boxes in our den.
