[QUOTE="Lev Raber, post: 216151, member: 648"] They are good for what they are. Also they are bad for what they are. They have to be properly deployed and often there is not enough height in the room to do that. I had very bad experiences with expensive K-Array system only because columns had to go on the top of the sub, making the system useless after people populated dance floor in front of the band stand. I had a chance to listen to IG4T, CLA206 & CLA406 and all all RCF speakers. We all know there is no universal solution in our business, different jobs require different speaker systems, but if you plan to invest in column design speakers, you have to know what to expect in return. If you're looking for a small "wedding band" size system I would suggest (for example) 2 x CLA206A over a single 18" sub per side. The system of this size won't compete with small line array in a long distance penetration, but give you decent coverage in wide rooms with up tp 100-300 pips. Go with (for example) 2 x CLA 406A over dual 18" sub per side if you need more power for large rooms. It's all about return on investment. Think twice (or three times) about the best tools for your application before you buy anything. [/QUOTE]
