Hi Gar!Certainly, there are some very expensive home speakers and there are some cheap professional speakers. My point was that, in my opinion, the extra cost of a good studio monitor is often justified by affording better components. In many cases, they are significantly better components. And it is also my opinion that some commercial speakers in the same price range are overpriced by comparison.
Maybe its a judgement call, but I find more value in the better high-efficiency prosound drivers than most of the commercial stuff for the home, even those marketed as boutique products made for audiophiles.
