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.

You can commute to work in a 3/4 ton longbed dually diesel pickup also, although most folks wouldn't really enjoy it. But if it needed to tow a 25 foot boat, that's a good choice. 

Same goes for speakers. I was in pro sound for many years, and have designed and worked with lots of pro drivers and horns. Great for their intended application, but most are definitely not HiFi. Exceptions noted for Altec 803-8G and 288 horn drivers and 515 woofers. But each of those components used probably cost near what those Yamaha's cost.
