Re: Thoughts on old EAW KF gearThe overhead speakers (the same ones as on the side lines) were facing straight down-to cover people directly under them-so no "spraying" with those. THey have a decent sized horn to help maintain the control on the back side. If trying to cover the floor with narrow pattern speakers (and VERY FEW manufacturers actually manufacture narrow pattern speakers (these days) that have any decent pattern control), it would take quite a few. And then the extra interference that would come out of all those extra devices (not to mention costs) would generally result in lower STI-which is NOT the goal.With loudspeakers-more is NOT better. The fewer the better.
