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.
@toddalin ...Mho, the 18" JBLs' 'do' sub substitutes nicely....all in the xovers....and, of course, the power behind them...;) It still amuses me that Mazda used That song behind a commercial....either wry sly humor or 'questionable taste' in that....*L* As for PA amps for sheer power...as long as the drivers are up to the task, rock on. Shatter plaster, split the sheetrock, splinter the woodwork, and bust that annoying lease....*G* |
@OP - the Toddalin clip gives a fair impression of what PA speakers sound like reproducing music - and that's a pair of fairly high quality speakers. Each to their own, but PA speakers are built primarily for generating high spls without blowing up and for ruggedness of transport. Their sound quality is in inverse proportion to their dB per dollar. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. |
Once again someone conflates music "production" with music "reproduction". As indicated above, live music will certainly sound more dynamic and free flowing on most any sound reinforcement speaker. Not the same thing as reproducing a recording of music in your home. If you truly want the best of both worlds, look at the recent Klipsch Heritage offerings. Dynamic, expressive, detailed and refined.
