[QUOTE="Brent Handy, post: 81399, member: 2097"] Re: Fulcrum Acoustics New Active Powered FA Series Review Ok, look at studio monitors. There are "pro" monitors marketed to the pro community that are not as good, not as resolute, and certainly not as good in fit and finish as high end audiophile monitors. Focal, B&W and Dynaudio are examples of companies making speakers whose consumer speakers are used in mixing and mastering facilities world-wide. Look at amplifiers. Harman's Drivecore technology was actually developed by a contracted development partner for JBL automotive. That amp "module" is exactly the power amp and DSP backbone of the Drivecore amps. Amps are amps in many cases. Bryston consumer is the same thing as Bryston pro. Now that the trend in consumer is to run balanced via XLRs, there is a bigger blur between consumer and pro. There are many, many other examples of cross marketed product. To address MI vs PRO, the only difference between some MI and PRO speakers is the cabinet bracing and fly points. The drivers are often the same. There are too many examples. There are PRO lines that absolutely suck compared to high end MI. We have Behringer, an MI company, with Midas and KT designs/technology. When it comes to DAWs, math is math. There is no sonic difference, unless colour is designed in. They all null in null tests. The difference in compatibility, usability, support, industry standardization. The latter is a hard nut to crack, because so many are entrenched and invested in the original standards. But, the facts are, Reaper, a $50 DAW is just as usable as PTHD sonically. Re: components, SHARC chips are everywhere, not just in high end audio. Windoze, Linux, BeOs, etc has been implemented in the high end and low end of consumer and pro electronics. There are budget DIY kits completely out of the high end, distributed, products, which are clones, with the same components, or darn near same components. The lines have been blurred since surface mount manufacturing was developed, and we incorporated DSP into everything, replacing the well built, dedicated processing. [/QUOTE]
