Hi Fi Hi End Verses Pro Audio Specs

Greetings
I have been a pro Electric bassist for over 50 years.
I also have done work as a sound man and have recorded in Studio
Also worked in Hi Fi and video sales and as a musical instrument Repair tech.
I have also worked for ADS Speaker Co in Wilmington,Ma.
I have always had this saying in the back of my head and would like to hear from the Hi end community.
Pro Audio vs Hi End Hi Fi.
When music is Recorded live or in Studio it is Music Production.
All Hi Fi no matter how expensive exotic or otherwise is The Reproduction of Music.
They have two different Electrical standards.
Knowing this and Knowing both Pro audio equipment and Consumer.
My vision of this hobby is to have a system that is a crossover between Hi fi and pro Audio.
I am seeking  a Particular sound as well as purity and design.
I would like to hear from the community.
Who uses Hi Fi mixed with Pro Audio in there systems?

Having owned a huge club with tens of thousands of watts, I'll sum it up by saying I now have a theater, 2 channel home audio and a tube system for work-None of these systems have any commercial components and never will.  Differences are massive.

Maplegrove,
It's a lot... I have owned  carver, qsc, crown & crest.  My old Marantz 2215b sounded better than all of them!
Current amps: McIntosh 7106 (theater), Grommes G101A totally restored (2 channel) and a Masterwork integrated made by Pilot (office). All systems are Coincident speakers but work also has a pair of Merrill Zigmahornets.  I listen 15-30 hours a week at work.
I have owned Acoustats, Maggies, Vandersteens, EV, JBL studio, Klipsch Cornwalls & Hereseys, PSB Silvers and so much more.
Sources are mainly Chord Hugo (office), Sota Jewel(2 channel) & Oppo 105 (theater).  I love mixing vintage with new.
