    OK, I read more than post on this forum. I haft to chime in here, I have been a professanal sound engineer for 26 years, I have Harmon { jbl, lexacon, crown, dbx, } as a sponser, hell I help with the proto type of the 4800 drive rack. I could call harmon tomorrow and have anything they make or have and have it shipped free to my house to keep as long as I needed it or untill they upgrade. If that gear sounded good at the house, why would I save every penny I make to buy Hi end Audio gear. If we are talking amps and drive racks { speaker management } they will not sound worth a **** as hi-fi goes, I have tried this all my life some have come close but are not refined for true hi fi. Yes I do have a few pairs of JBL studio monitors self powered class A, but they are near field and loose there **** 12 feet away. You can check what I am saying. Just google Dirk Durham {tkfoh} and read. sorry for the spelling glasses are in the truck. You find crown, qsc, peavey, in studios because of the high spl and you can pour a crown and coke in them and thay will keep going, with out shutting down a session and run 24 hours wide open in a closed cabnet with no air and no fan {noise}.

    Awesome dude , I didn't get your point exactly here, But I understand what your saying.

    Wow what a thread of worthless conversation.

    How I see it is the following.
    I have been a musician since I was 9 years old. My family is generations of musicians. We all love making music , playing others music etc. We all love good quality gear in the pro world. But we also love home gear for replaying our loved music meaning what we have written and what we love from other musicians.
    I think what has been missed but touched on in this entire crazy thread is the fact that Pro gear is designed to play live real Instruments and home gear is designed to replay what was recorded.
    Studio gear is designed to record in a controlled environment. Live gear is designed for venues. I don't really get the idea of mixing gear. I never had the desire to use a pro amp instead of a home amp in my stereo system and I never had the desire to use my home amps to power my guitar. I simply don't understand this entire argument of whats better. Guys they are designed for different job. I'm seeing Apples and Oranges here.

    Over the years I have owned many many great Guitar amps. Mostly tubes as I prefer the tone I get with them over solid state. I'm extremely picky when it comes to my tone. You think I change gear in my home system , you should see what goes on in my guitar rig.
    So really I think this thread should be left alone. This guy who started it all jinjuku sounds to me like he needs a better understanding of all sides of music. I'm assuming he is young.
