Hi Fi Hi End Verses Pro Audio Specs

Great Info Gents.
There are so many choices at all levels.
For me I am looking to assemble a home system that has the sound i grew up with.
I love the sound of the late 60s thru the 70s.
I currently own several Pair of ADS Speakers including a very rare pair of BC8 Broadcast monitors.
I have always loved the sound of JBL such as 4311/12s
There big guys such as 4344s are killer for anything.
While on tour back in 79 I spent a week at The Resorts international Hotel Atlantic city.
The house sound system in the room they had the miss America pageants used all JBL 4355.
What a Sound.
I would the sound at home in a small configuration.

ATC and PMC are great speakers.

I very much agree.
I love the sound of JBL
I have never had any experience with Adcom.
I love Carver especially TFM series of Power Amps.
I used to sell ADS and Yamaha which i thought where a very good Match.
I am very curious about Tubes for a Home system.

Right now I have two simple systems.
I have a small home and listening environment.
One is just for my computer.
M-Audio DX-4 Pwrd monitors with a Cambridge Soundworls Sub
My Listening system is Yamaha RX-450 Receiver with ADS 710 Speakers.I have a small home and listening environment.
I am restoring a Pair of ADS BC8 Broadcast Monitors.
When they are  done i will be searching for something to power them.
Probably Tubes.

This is great info
Thank You DG
I totally agree that I have a long way to go with gear.
I am very open to suggestion and knowledge.
i am very fascinated with what is out there.
In my years i thought I have heard everything but at the same time I have heard Nothing.
i have recorded in many studios old and new.
One was Intermedia Sound Boston where Aerosmith and the Cars recorded.
i have heard many studio Monitors from ADS to Westlake.
I plan on developing a very versatile system that would include a mix of input sources.
Cd vinyl digital etc.

I have always liked the sound of Crown Power with JBL Speakers.
Both those Companies Amps and speakers crossover from pro to home nicely.

Very interesting
a lot of the music I grew up on where monitored using
JBL Speakers 
I like that vintage sound.
Both Crown and  JBL Where always sold for both home and studio use.
A great example is a Pair iof JBL 4311 paired with a Crown DC 300.
when I was working at ADS I was in the Sound room  wth a couple of the engineers..
We where listening  to a pair of L910s
I remember one of the engineers saying if more music where recorded using these we would have better records today.
of course that was 1978 and gear has drastically changed and improved 
i remember that Telarc Records used ADS In some of their studios.  
To get a better grasp and knowledge on Audiophile purism
do you know of any reading material on the history of The Hi end Hi Fi hobby
Being a Musician on the creative end I am very curious to learn about the mind of the Hi End Listener.
From a musicians stand point we try and capture our creations and performance thru the Recording process.
it then hopefully will be enjoyed to those that buy records.

Thank You Shadhorne
I have heard tons about ATC and Genelec.
have not had the pleasure to hear any yet.
The studio I have been recording at in the last decade has Dynaudio which sound great.
I do not know the model but are an 8" two way.
He has recently switched to Old tannoy’s.
They also sound very good.
I am learning a bunch of stuff fast.
