[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 216141, member: 172"] From what I can tell (and marketing aside), those boxes are point-source boxes with dual woofers and so have a bit more height and vertical pattern control to lower frequencies than a single-woofer box. But there's nothing magical about them. As far as comparing to a "dash" array, you'll get LF pattern control to about the same point or perhaps a bit lower with the tall point-source box (this comes from the heights of the woofer stacks in the array and in the point-source box), but your HF dispersion will likely be taller with the point-source box and you won't have as many high drivers so your peak HF output will be lower. The point-source box will likely be a bit cleaner, however, and will typically be quicker to deploy. I've used both types of systems, and the real advantage to the "dash" array is that it lets you use more of the same boxes in a larger array for larger jobs. If you aren't planning on needing to put together a 6-8+ box array system, I think point-source boxes are a better choice (easier to deploy, and usually better sound). [/QUOTE]
