Home audio or pro audio?

Go pro. Jesse Pinkman can't be wrong.

I'd go with the PMC surround system. Their new active monitors 6-2 and 8-2 very interesting.

The problem with pro shops are they don't sell cable lifters.

Here you go. $20 each!

Pro audio is a pretty meaningless term - too general. Top quality studio level gear is not inexpensive - though not at the same level of cost as high end domestic hi fi. Although, top end pro monitors can be fairly high en in term of price. DJ or live sound gear is a totally different kettle of fish - not really designed to deliver what you would want or listening to music in a domestic setting. However, if we are just talking home theater, then I could certainly see that, given a large room, a small PA could be pretty cost effective. You might not want to listen to music on it, but just for movies it could work.

Just listen and see.
