SPL - Pro Audio Blasphemy?

Very cool insights.I think having an entire rig of pro gear for home listening is not the way to go, but some areas could be helpful. As stated before, if you are going passive that would be the obvious area to acquire pro gear for. I remember linkwitz for his speakers uses very ordinary pro amps and PMC has bryston in them. I feel that some speakers, like for instance Harbeth, feel that amplification is cheap and abundant and it is there to amplify, nothing more.

Also, I think the 120v rails is confusing, because I think it is different running of 120v AC. Look at the Innerfidelity video on the Phonitor 2 at Newport, and the rep explains it. To paraphrase he says that most gear runs on 36v rails and that 120v rails gives you more head room and dynamic range. Sounds interesting.

Would the wide use of balanced connections and power conditioners be two areas where the pro side influenced the hifi side?

I use a Crown Xti 1002 to drive my woofers with the built in X/O at 320Hz....works great for tight pounding bass.

It's all about that first watt.

I use JBL 4350A with JBL DX 1 active crossover and power them with FM Acoustics 600A and the preamplifiers are Dennesen JC80......pure fun!

Enobenetto, understood about the rail voltages. Looks intriguing to me too. But, if this were easy enough to arrange in a preamp (for the maker's stated advantages), then could this same idea not also be applied to amps...leading to a combo of high-headroom amp/pre in order to get the most from this approach - that would evidently be the logical conclusion, to me. What comes of their efforts seems to bear watching, I would think.
