[QUOTE="Glenn Adams, post: 124303, member: 6611"] Re: tall skinny speakers "I could hear every note you were singing, I just couldn't understand it." So many locals were doing 3way stacks with a 2" comp driver on top of double 12" as a mid range, think Roy box. But we always added a 1" crossed in at 7 to 8 K or rings or slots to add the S's and the T's. You really need this for intelligibility. So many systems use 1.4 or 1.5 " drivers now to have better highs than a 2" still with a 3 way box. And it does sound better but is still doesn't sizzle. If you can get a 1", 5 or 6", and the 12" all on one pattern control device in proper time alignment than you can have it all. I am sure these sound very good in the places his photos show. But because of a missing hi mid device for a small horn I think it is not a true line array. That horn maybe adding the sizzle but it is a hybrid array at best. However if it is working well and you and the crowd like it there is no reason to replace it. [/QUOTE]
