Default Anything to say on Speakons

I suspect a lot of them also want something they can see the workings of.

Pro audio people just want something they can plug in and will work well
enough for the purpose. Speakons and XLR using decent quality cable are
good at that, and it's easy to swap stuff round when you are out on
location or when a perforner moves round a studio.

Audiophiles don't trust what they can't see and fiddle with.

There is also the way the professionals alter the setup between jobs,
while a high end home audio person will want to set stuff up once and
for all, so the convenience of a Speakon isn't needed. Just bear in mind
very few of them even run line level audio through balanced leads...
