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.

Xilica XP series. Preferably model 4080 -

I suppose my Klipsch “Jubilees” (535 bass bin/402 horn) from their Pro Cinema catalog might be stretched to call a PA speaker. Although designed for active application I run mine with passive crossovers and Faital compression drivers on the 402 horn. Yes, they can and will run you out of the room but yes again, at 105 db sensitivity they can be remarkably tame and sublime with flea watt amps. If you’re looking for immersive, direct, front soundstage experience look no further. Top to bottom horn loaded bass is something to behold. Are they living room acceptable, no. But with all this I am thoroughly enjoying my relatively new Coheret Audio coaxial 12 GR. A wonderful change of pace -

With regards to the Benchmark amps, I use two as monoblocks with the Jubilees. They are extremely quiet through these big horns. But honestly no more so than any of the First Watt amps I use -
