anyone try powered Mackie Hd1531 for home use?

Is this for theater or regular 2 channel audio?

Dual use but mainly music. Also going to check out JBL 735 speakers.

Make sure you get them on stands to raise them to the correct height. I don't think pole-mount stands would be appropriate quality for this purpose. The listening position should be far enough away such that the drivers integrate properly.

I use JBLs (PRX412M) on Target stands in a 11' x 14.5' room with listening position about 9' away from them. No subs used. They are passive and I drive them with a Crown XLS 2500 power amp. They rock.

PA speakers don't usually have the detail of a good studio monitor but for much rock music that can be a good thing.

That's a good idea. In this case, I feel a demo is an absolute must. There are too many unknowns. After you listen to them, can you post and tell us what you think?
