Good to see you are now reviewing pro audio speakers.
I believe they represent significant value over the normal street prices (that does not include thr 50%+ discounts we have seen on DCM, JBL, Infinity, etc) for most name-brand home audio speakers ... at least off-setting the cost of the included amplification, which (among competent companies) is sure to be optimized specifically for each driver!
Two arguments I have heard against pro-audio monitors are:
1) They are designed for near-field and will not sound good in a normal HT.
2) They sound too "clinical".
Either I don't understand what they are really saying, or it is BS; but please emphasize it if you come across deficiencies that reveal either of these issues! Aside from something like a mini-monitor with 4" speakers that falls short at volume from 12' away, I have not seen a monitor that falls short as mid or far-field.
