Those are all great suggestions. I'm also wondering about speakers themselves too. How do the QSC A(X) and other products like that work in a home setting. They tend to be more designed for wall mount which is fine but is the SI focused voicing something that is just in my head? Can you get good home audio with pro speakers? (I know that's a loaded question) I love a lot of pro speakers but I wouldn't for a moment think they are good for mid field listening.

I don't know exactly what you mean by "SI voicing"
-SI always means this to me:

They were just EVID c8.2's in black.
Perhaps the consumer grade manufacturers are focusing too much on critical listening in a precision environment but don't accommodate for large spaces, cocktail parties and rooms that open-up to the outside shoreline like many of the high-end builds I've had to deal with. Many of them resembled "commercial" spaces more than residential.
One other aspect is that consumer stuff tends to be open-chassis, relying much more on the building type and insulation whereas the pro stuff comes with backboxes and is much more consistent.
