The comb filtering, acoustic performance and weight was awful.Then L-Acoustic introduced the V-Dosc.  They needed less than half the number of boxes, the boxes were smaller and lighter, the comb filtering was greatly reduced and things started to sound quite good. The first time I saw V-Dosc was with Metallica, I can remember being blown away with the size of the rig and that in about 15 to 20 minutes two people had the rig on the ground ready to be loaded into the truck … and there was one less truck needed! Line arrays still have a lot of issues, but if you look at something like d&b’s J series its light enough for 2 people to pick up and you can use it for audience ranging from 1000 to 20000.What Danley has done is put a lot more of the components into one box, not difficult when you think about it – Done correctly this approach minimizes the acoustic problems and reduces the total weight of the system … just as Ivan said.The cost is reduced flexibility, and the weight of the individual boxes can be as much as 720 lbs in Danley’s case!  For most hire companies this is not an acceptable compromise. In simple terms there is cost for scalability and flexibility. The issue I have is that Danley does not offer a solution with these attributes, (and by that I don't mean line array) yet is so unremittingly critical of manufactures that do. Back on topic - did anyone get a chance to have a look at Avids S6L or Allen & Heaths dLive … what did you think?</blockquote>
