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?

A pair of well restored JBL Century 100's will blow away those ADS's and the ADS's are good.

Also,the MAIN thing to remember here coming from LIVE/STUDIO side is that in Hi-Fi ...DISTORTION of any kind is bad and far less tolerated in home stereo. So a lower powered musically appealing amp (adcom) would be much more desirable than a high powered (hammer your ear drums to fatigue hell) (Carver magnetic field design) amp.
