choose your poison.if you think 'audiophile' drivers aren't subject to bean counters, you're incorrect.
last i checked, roadies can't usually get at the cones inside the boxes. they'd just rather they work. so best not put your foot through it. and don't throw an audiophile speaker either. same result will occur. this i know.
quantity? we're not talking ARENA boxes in your living room. i don't mean BOXES-- nobody wants giant boxes in their living room (well.. some do..). i mean DRIVERS.
besidedly-- your assessment of what the necessities of 'pro sound' drivers are the same for ALL drivers. guaranteed- the production of all drivers are informed by bean counters-- this is economics, they are all as rugged as they need to be, very little MORE than that, and last i checked, a 12" audiophile driver has similar coverage to a 12" pro sound driver.
i think you are subscribing to an idea of which isn't informed by sonics, but solely by a false idea of the expectations on a driver. there are good drivers in both camps pro and audiophile. depending on your needs-- you choose them as necessary. there ARE great 'pro sound' drivers, which have been staples of 'audiophiles' for many years. its a completely semantic argument, honestly. because people put drivers in PA boxes does NOT make them any less well designed (especially in previous generations)-- and i don't mean a yorkville or pioneer bottom-of-the-liners- obviously there's tiers of quality. the top tiers of both are, in fact, not so very different, and in fact, overlap in uses home and high end PA's.again- its systematic. i've heard FANTASTIC drivers driven HORRIBLY by bad amps, crossovers, cabling.. the works. they sound terrible in that context. in the hands of a conscientious user, they can be equally great. it all comes down to application.
