In a lot of cases, the pro products are ideal but this has to be
determined on a case by case basis. Certainly they are sometimes much
more cost effective.

The better ones tend to have balanced +4 inputs. This creates an
issue in that most consumer driving gear is single ended and -10 into
a bridging load. If the manufacturers of CD players, DACs and preamps
were serious they would address that,

Then there's the whole near field vs. not. If you knew how to make
adobe huts properly you'd address that.

But no, all you can do is change the oil in a POS 1973 Dodge truck so
your credibility is shot.

They make them both ways, don't they? Of course they do.

An unqualified reference to a 'monitor' speaker often refers to a
'near-field' (compact or close-field) design.
