I'd say for one, the space is different. Usually a PA is used in some sort of larger space for performance. One could say then, it's use is different than critical listening. But also this larger space a PA normally find itself in porportionally increases the listening area, in a way our "critical points" are extended. Low freqencies in particular which are most problematic in typical studio sapces have room to develop in larger spaces.
