I agree Mike Fremer doesn't want to get it. The main failure of pro gear, IME, is that it does a poor job of recovering low level detail, for various reasons the standard parameters may be fine in the measuring, but the level of distortion of "inner detail" is too great. SPLs shouldn't ultimately be a problem when quality is also the goal - I have heard this being done at a fully competent level, several times which means, why isn't this always the case? In that regard, it is interesting that some of those "professionals" who are supposedly aiming for the highest quality in their recordings spurn the "pro" gear, and use ambitious consumer components. Yes, it might be used mainly in the rooms of recording studios, but if it is of excellent quality then it should be just as competent in a home listening environment - it should easily show up "high end consumer audio". In one sentence you say "pro recording" equipment, and in the next you talk of DACs and amplifiers, which is reproduction gear.
