2/ what differences are there in pro drivers compared to Hi Fi drivers. What are the pros and cons of employing them

These are kind of tempting because my amp is only 85w per channel.
You don't need to use pro drivers to attain high sensitivity. I run line arrays for my LRC and a folded horn sub. The sound quality is second to none, and power draw never exceeds 50 watts.
