those who listened to them say they are quite something ...I can decide if those Rey speakers are the most beautiful thing speaker seen or the most ugly. Certainly a statement either way and much more interesting than most loudspeakers.

That is true for audiophools for sure, just as the "analogue is everything", digital is bad daftness. Most sensible people that use digital sources recognise the usefulness of EQ. In pro audio you would be laughed at for not understanding.another big difference ... in PA almost anyone EQ Then a ragged response can be planed out quite easily (often equalizers have an auto EQ feature)
If you tell an audiophile to EQ his/her system he/she calls an exorcist
Hi thanks for your valuable advice Seriously i know many audiophiles Not one is using EQ units and almost no one has a treated listening roomThat is true for audiophools for sure, just as the "analogue is everything", digital is bad daftness.

Cool but what is your point?Here's some very unimportant info. on PA's
I've done sound for live performances using different PA's & IMO none of them sound good at low volumes. Given that I would not want a PA system in my house. Also a huge personal preference with performers and what they want the PA/monitors to sound like and that's where a PA system really shines. Only seen a few shows where the artist really complained a lot over the PA as with all the EQ we could pretty much please everybody.
One guy who everybody knows decided to play some shows at a small venue I was working at (about 400 person capacity). The guy & his band were used to filling stadiums and the only way He could work out the money end of such a small gate was "the house would do the sound" Ha, 5 minutes into there 1st sound check they shut it down stormed out & said were coming back with our gear. 2 days later truck loads of amp racks & speakers were brought in & set up by His people. It was the most incredible live sound I have ever heard it was magical. I know the shows He played cost Him money. I gained huge respect for that guy to not compromise on His standards. Lucky for the audience He had the money to what He did none of em knew the story but everybody loved the sound & the shows.
Title of thread is, "PA is not home Hifi." I made my point in the 1st 2 sentences of my post agreeing with the thread title. Not sure where you don't see a point of view from somebody who has worked a lot PA's ?Cool but what is your point?
hi may i ask which commercial speakers ? i am curious now Thanks a lotMy big listening system is all commercial speakers, and all my pro audio and studio owner colleagues rave about it. It’s in a 500 cubic meter studio, and I demonstrate it with acoustic music at concert level. A musician and composer friend says “it's the best stereo I’ve ever heard” - and still gigging at 76 that’s saying something. So it’s not just me.
PA and home hifi are a bit artificial definitions, there is definitly a big overlap.
you'll find heaps of overlap
like you'll see a lot of people using crown and behringer type amps... i have yet to see anyone use those big plastic blow mould speakers like the behringer pk108s but i'm sure they're there.
if you want to go further with this i would state that studio nearfield speakers isnt really 'home hi-fi' either but to me whatever you do in your house is up to you
heaps of people dig soundbars and bluetooth speakers and mesh type setups and sure, if you like that go for it
I've mentioned preferring any of many of JBL highest quality implementations, from portable PA boxes to movie theater installs, that contain their best neo woofers - 2262 12in, 2265 15in, 2268 18in, and 2269 18in. While designed for high levels in concert arrays, these have the best distortion measurements at home or studio levels of any cone driver in my experience. (For the science behind the need for low distortion in subwoofers, see my paper "Subwoofer Camp" at www.filmaker.com.)hi may i ask which commercial speakers ? i am curious now Thanks a lot
Hi thanks a lot If i had more space i would go for this kind of speakers for sure I listen from max 10 feet away from the speakers But i love big sounds a lotI've mentioned preferring any of many of JBL highest quality implementations, from portable PA boxes to movie theater installs, that contain their best neo woofers - 2262 12in, 2265 15in, 2268 18in, and 2269 18in.
