[QUOTE="Perry Wright, post: 217080, member: 13023"] If you specifically do NOT want the sound to travel more than fifteen feet, then these are for you. Yes, I’m being facetious, but the stupid little stick looking things are the worst idea in audio I’ve ever seen. A fad, like hula hoops, and Furby dolls. A normal 12” or 15” 2-way will easily outperform them. The column concept is Low Q, meaning it has no projection. It is a common misconception that the column has less loss per distance. Quite the opposite. The silly small cones in a row have no efficiency, no pattern control, no projection, and no coverage. If you only want to cover your living room, and have money to throw away, then get some of these, get several. But if you actually want a real sound system, use normal passive speakers, with normal power amps. And I prefer the iPad mixers like SoundCraft Ui series, or MACKIE DLseries. Beats the knob mixers everyday. (And NO speaker is actually a "point source". A cone speaker has a coverage angle of 90° conical. Theoretical point source means spherical radiation in all directions. A row of small cones is just a row of conical patterns, interfering with each other. Not useful at all.) [/QUOTE]
