[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 80164, member: 30"] Re: Danley SM80 and others shootout Monday January 14 at Danley in Gainesville, GA. Yes you can use the regular SM80 as a monitor-as the sides are cut at 40°. It is not as cool looking as the SM80M (monitor version) but will work. The big difference is that the monitor version goes an octave lower than the regular SM80-due to the fact that it has a larger internal volume and is ported. Yes you can put 2 side by side in a tight packed "array". They will combine better than most-but not as well as some of the other Danley products. This is because of the spacing of the HF driver and the sides of the cabinet-we could not get it any closer with the particular coax used. It does not have the "swooshie swooshie" sound that is common-but rather a slight tonal different in the middle. Most people would not realize it. The monitor can be made active-but the regular SM80 cannot be made powered-there is no place to put the amp. We are considering a slightly larger cabinet that would go lower (it would not be a sealed cabinet however) and could be powered. But the weight would go up-may or may not be arrayable etc. Still in the "discussion stage". I stay away from pricing-the office could get you that information. [/QUOTE]
