Pro audio amps for a home system

Hello,

Short answer is yes, if you get the right amplifier.
There is probably something to be gained by losing some of the features that pro audio amps often have, active crossovers, active cooling, etc. That being said, Rotel and Marantz are pretty much the bottom rung of the amplifier ladder in the Audiophile world. Class D amp's all have a particular sound in my own opinion, many would agree that they can be a bit sterile and thin sounding.

If budget allows, you might consider a full Class A design as they tend to have a very different (and better in my personal opinion) sonic signature than Class D designs.

Most pro amps are designed for brute power and road worthy-ness. Finess and detailed presentation usually don't make it to the design team's list of priorities. That said, the Lab Gruppens are nice.

spinaker01, 
Have you used Lab Gruppen IPD1200 (or 2400) at home since then?

Someone told me that they have much better audio quality then anything at their price from the home hi-fi market.

I saw a pic of the Magico factory and there was a QSC GX3 amp sitting there...I have one of those, and I had to wonder what Magico uses it for.  I use mine for live stuff here and there, but its fans are too loud for my recording studio...I have another "pro" amp for that, and old Alesis RA100 that's quiet (no fans). I think PA amps are great at what they're meant for, but well designed hifi amps are generally more refined sounding, and in the case of my 12wpc single ended tube amp through very efficient speakers there's no doubt.
