[QUOTE="Greg Cameron, post: 16629, member: 42"] Re: Modeling my pet peeve Yeah, the SLS is certainly not on par with the upper echelon line sources. That said, it's absolutely true the the HF waveguides from box to box aren't going to couple all that well. Hence the goal of tightening up coverage for minimal overlap whereas the lower frequency drivers will couple so long as they're within the fraction wavelength distance for summation. L'Acoustics came out of the gate with a very good design for their HF waveguide that a lot of the other guys have been trying to replicate the behavior of without infringing on patents. But there are some really good designs out their to minimize interference these days. And at the top of the array in a properly deployed system is where most of that interference is rather than at the bottom for the 'near-field' listeners where the boxes have more vertical splay. I've been very impressed with the latest systems, though I'm still impressed by well designed & deployed trap systems. Greg [/QUOTE]
