why not use biamped studio monitors?

My brother is a sound engineer, both live and studio, so of course his "home system" is really a studio system ( all digital. Still having heard what he has, it begs the question, why not combine nice inputs ( turntable/cart, Cd etc. ) with a nice line preamp and some Mackie or Genelec biamp powered monitors. Should allow for excellent imaging, great detail, ability to tailor the sound to the room, and at a realatively low cost. Has anyone tried this? Experience?

My current 2-channel system is an EVS (Tweakaudio) Level-2 mod'd Oppo 970 universal player (CD, DVD, SACD, DVD-A, HDCD) using it's built-in volume contol and connected directly to a pair of Quad 12L Active speakers.

This is easily the best bang for the buck system I've ever owned. BTW, I do listen in a nearfield setup. I think the Quads may be more forgiving than a typical studio monitor. I don't get listener fatigue like I had with some previous speakers.

Enjoy,
