Home audio or pro audio?

Look at these Focal Active speakers that are triamped with each driver getting its OWN monoblock, a complete 7.1.4 system with 2 subs for $25K . Because they are active you don’t need to buy amps or speaker cables. On the consumer side Focal will sell you a pair of nice towers for the same price BUT they look beautiful LOL.

Check out the pro system HERE

I use pro cables (Mogami XLR) and have speakers with pro pedigree (active).

There are companies that make both pro and consumer gear (Focal, Harman/JBL, Dynaudio), for good advice I would talk to a rep or a dealer. I think consumer gear looks nicer, no comparison but your budget goes like 2-4 x farther using pro cables and active speakers. One of the top rated consumer DAC’s is Benchmark and they are noted for pro gear. Bryston is noted for consumers yet many recording studios use Brusyon gear. Skywalker sound uses Parsaound amps (they even got a screen credit in Star Wars). I think using BOTH pro and consumer gear is the ticket for bang for the buck

This is how Benchmark positions their pro gear for the home, I don't think the goals are different at all:

BRING THE STUDIO INTO YOUR LIVING ROOM

When Benchmark's professional converters are used in hi-fi applications, studio-quality sound can be enjoyed in a home environment. Enjoy pure music without any coloration from the electronics. Hear the music exactly the way it was heard in the studio, and exactly the way the artists intended.
