If Pro Audio is taken to mean what it should, gear made for live-sound, then it differs from audiophile gear in a very important way- pro gear is designed to make music, audiophile gear is made to reproduce it. Pro gear, especially speakers and amps, trades off distortion for power, fidelity for output. Pro gear should be considered as being a musical instrument, and if the tones produced are distorted- like a Les Paul balls to the wall through a maxed out Fender Twin- that's OK. But audiophile gear is intended to reproduce recorded sound as accurately as possible, adding no coloration of its own. There is some overlap between the two, especially in very high end pro PA gear where the intent is the same as the audiophile's though on a louder scale. But to generalize when you talk Pro sound you're talking loud, when you talk audiophile you're talking accurate.
