You will blow them out real quick if you attempt to use them for live music. When a PA speaker is designed, the main design priority is sound pressure level or SPL because you're trying to cover a large audience. A home speaker is designed to resolve subtle passages in music. In other words, a home speaker is made more for accuracy and a wide frequency response. The PA speaker is made more robust and rugged for portability. The drivers and surrounds are much stiffer and they have bigger magnets and have large voicecoils to handle alot of power. They're not made for accuracy. Their passive crossovers can also handle more power than a home speaker's can.<br><b>References : </b><br>22 years audio and speaker design experience.
