Some amps designed for professional sound work are well suited to home audio. The key word here is "some". There once was a time when all pro sound amps had poor sound quality, but things have changed. Audiophiles who dispute this are stuck in the past or don't want to admit that their amps were overpriced. I think highly of the CarverPro ZR1600 (a 600 watt digital amp) and was surprised by a QSC amp that I had bought only with intention of driving a subwoofer.
Pro amps are made to work in a rack with lots of other electronics, and always include a fan for cooling. The fan is a noisy distraction for home use. If you can locate the amp in the cellar (as I do) this is not a problem. It is less of a problem with digital amps that generate little heat, and can often survive with the fan disconnected, or retrofitted with an ultra low noise fan (with reduced airflow).
Pro amps often include various signal processing functions. You ought to be able to bypass these.
I have no hands-on (ears) experience with the Meyer products. It is important to audition a pro sound amp to see if your ears consider it acceptable for home audio use. If you can do this, go for it.
FWIW I can vouch for the ZR1600 amp, and it has recieved many good reviews from other audiophiles. I don't know if it can match a couple of $40,000 monoblocks, but it sure beats out anything in the below-a-grand price range.
