Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application!

Hi guys,

I am a bit inspired to explore/trial usage of a pair of PA speakers at home after i attended a live event recently. 

I looked at some Yamaha PA models and zoomed in on one that isn't too huge/heavy, relatively easy to move around perhaps. 

Are there any audiophiles here who had relative satisfaction trying such speakers at home? I am also thinking that this may not be a great idea, but, just curious at the moment.

My CARs use a JBL tractrix horn which seems to work really well.

I don't think JBL makes tractrix horns. What model JBL horn do you have?

@atmasphere,

Got it. My JBL 4435 and 4430 studio monitors use a JBL 2344 Bi-Radial horn design, specifically for those two monitors. See below:
