[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 55633, member: 30"] Re: High output main speakers. A quick comparison between the 46 and the 50 (besides the basic spec sheet numbers). They both use the same pair of 12" woofers. THe 46 has 4 4" mids while the 50 has 4 5" mids. The mids are probably the strongest thing in both cabinets. To my knowledge-we have have never had to replace a mid in either cabinet number. THe Sh50 has a 1" driver and the SH46 has a 1.4" driver. The Sh46 has a narrower pattern-so even with the stronger HF-there is more level-due to less radiation angle to spread the sound out. The Sh50 was designed to have a flat response in a single cabinet-while the SH46 was designed to have a flat response with a pair of boxes-so the mids and highs are not "pulled down" as much as in the SH50. It was also assumed that the Sh46 would be used with subs-so the response was not "tuned" as low. The end result is a much louder box. [/QUOTE]
