Prosound equipment is made and sold for performance, and tends towards form-follows-function. High end home equipment is sold to an entirely different market, one where the actual sound may not be the most important feature. Appearance, esoteric parts, name recognition, personality and appearance of the salon, all play a big part in sales to the home market.

Pro stuff has to go out and work for a living.

I know I'm not exactly answering your question, sorry. I think the better monitors try for flat response, and many are used near-field, which to me sounds kind of dead, though I do like the JBL/Urei units.

Going out and listening to different speakers is fun and tends to help focus on what's important.

Good luck!

John
