I agree.
Also with PA systems the amps were higher in distortion, I'm pretty sure the speakers were too.
PA systems were meant to be played at one volume - loud.
The drivers are not delicate nor of light weight construction. Heavy construction can take power, but light construction makes good for lower listening levels and responsive dynamics.
PA System = X15 Rocket ignited
Audiophile System = Powered glider
A PA based system needs to be cranked up to come alive
in other words, and that can be fatiguing in the long run, even outdoors.
Bottom Line: If it sounds good to your ears then buy it.
Truth is, as we age we lose our high frequency hearing as the little hairs in our ear canal die out. This means we may favor high frequency leaning systems, and we may not hear the distortion that often comes with it.
Like it, buy it.
To me the true test of a speaker system isn't how good it sounds at any one level, it's how good it sounds at all volume levels. This is a very difficult thing to do.
It's like having an off the line torque master of an engine, and having a peppy high revving engine all rolled into one.
