a race car and an f100 are naturally NOT designed for the same purposeWho said anything about race cars? As a driving enthusiast, I would never choose to drive a pickup over a sports car to the grocery because of the mediocre handling and response. Zero fun. It's an appliance.
The primary criteria for professional sound reinforcement applications have nothing at all to due with achieving the best sound. Instead, they are based upon practicality and utility.
1. Cost
2. Ruggedness to survive roadies
3. Quantity and coverage of sound field
4. Ability to drive multiple PA binsNone of which apply to the best audio gear at all.
...thinking that only expensive 'audiophile' drivers are good enough for good sound
Well, I suspect that many PA systems I've heard would sound better if they weren't overdriven. And yes, you can potentially get "good" sound from a PA. On the other hand, the most realistic sound (using unamplified music as the reference)can only be found with the best audio gear in my experience.
YMMV
