Professional Loudspeakers are made to do one thing, play load! they have pretty good dynamics, but for home use, they are very inefficient and needs lots of power even at lower volume settings. If you are looking for a good pair of speakers with good dynamics, DB levels, and overall range, you may want to look at some of the high end stuff.

Many home speakers are around 89-91db 1 watt/1 meter. Where as many pro speakers are anywheres from 95 on up. Mine are 101db 1 watt/1 meter. Ive seen them up to 115 but i'm sure there are higher. Other than that I agree with you they are not good for home use. They are designed to project sound.

Well, I just arrived back home from doing a 'Hootie & the BF' - job in a local German club (where they are touring right now). We had some good laughs and lots of 'shanking our heads' when the mon-engineer was talking about other clubs with bad equipment they played in. Oh boy, how glad I was that we supplied useful equipment they (and I) could work with. Tonight's job would not have been possible with peavey-kind of stuff, and that's for s(h)ure. So much for that.

But if you disable the built in limiting, they blow up in short order. They also never sounded good to start with. I was offered a handfull of CS-800's for next to nothing, but turned them down because if I had them, I might be tempted to use them in an emergency, and I didn't want to expose my drivers to that sort of abuse (or my ears).
