@searchingforthesound You have a legit question. The live concert sound of professional line arrays is very compelling. It's mostly midrange frequencies at very high sound levels. In the home environment they just aren't accurate enough to flesh out the details you will want to hear. Pro drivers are designed to be robust before any other consideration. For the home a horn speaker is what you might want to hear. A pair of Klipsch Fortes or stacked LaScalas with a nice tube amp will give you everything you need and quite a bit more.
Line Array VS Traditional Box Speakers, Why not just get the line array ?
I am sure this question has been posed many times over but I am curious as to response from the current active crew here. Since I attend live music on pretty much a weekly basis for the most part I always come away with the same. I actually need that line array at home thought. Even if its not the band but the music between sets , I still need that line array.
We all spend good money on trying to recreate the live sound at home. Why not use the same pro gear that bands do, DJs, Clubs etc...for a fraction of the cost of some of the crazy systems you guys have. I have heard systems that cost ungodly amounts of money and no home system at any amount of investment that I have heard truly sounds like the real deal. Some folks spend stupid money on AMPs, cables speakers and the sound is amazing but again it doesnt sound like it really does live. For a fraction of the cost you can get you the real pro AV sound.
I look forward to the responses as I know a bunch of the cats on here are musicians as well.
