I have tried many brands of PA speakers for home and still do use them, but I also have several hi fi speakers. I like to experience it all! I have 6 rooms with audio gear. I have not tried Yamaha in my home, but I am very familiar with JBL, Meyer Sound, Claire Brothers, Peavey and others. When you want "raw power" and high sound pressure levels there is no substitute, but if you want refinement, hi fi speakers are the way to go. You have to decide what you are after. Just my humble opinion...
Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application!
Hi guys,
I am a bit inspired to explore/trial usage of a pair of PA speakers at home after i attended a live event recently.
I looked at some Yamaha PA models and zoomed in on one that isn't too huge/heavy, relatively easy to move around perhaps.
Are there any audiophiles here who had relative satisfaction trying such speakers at home? I am also thinking that this may not be a great idea, but, just curious at the moment.

deep_333: Keep in mind that I have been at this hobby since the early 80’s. Things accumulate over time. We have no kids and it’s just me and my partner in the house. My favorite DAC at the moment is my Ps Audio Stellar Gold DAC. It’s the most musical of the DACs I have, regardless of cost. Some of the speakers have built in amps, but mostly QSC and Crown amps for PA. For non-pa amps I also love just about any Ps Audio amp. There’s just something about their voicing that I haven’t found anywhere else. You may want to consider a mix. Such as HI FI main speakers and a couple of PA subs, if you’re into extreme bass. I used to do that, but the older I get the more balanced, even and realistic I like my music to sound. Funny true story - Years ago I was at work bidding on 4 or 5 stereo components simultaneously when a co-worker who has 5 kids looked at my computer monitor and asked me how I could afford all that. I pointed at each auction while I said: this is kid #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5! He looked at me with a face of regret and disappointment (he likes audio also). |
deep_333 OP: I went to the Rythmik website a little while ago because I was curious about those subs. I had not heard of them. They seem like good subs, particularly their servo technology. They go pretty low in frequency too! The only think that would keep me from buying them is that most of their models don't have balanced XLR inputs, other than that they have a lot more adjustments than most subs at that price. You should be content with those... |
