What are good choices for mains that stand alone well and array nicely?

[QUOTE="John Halliburton, post: 49000, member: 8"] Re: What are good choices for mains that stand alone well and array nicely? Without considering what the rest of the speaker system is comprised of, you may have just added more comb filtering issues to the final rig. I'd at least consider two 60 degree horns with 15" drivers for mids/lows before three 40 degree horns with 12" or 15" woofers, as long as I could get the acoustic horsepower out of the pair that I needed. Even three 15" woofers hanging tightly together will have unavoidable comb issues, as the beamwidth is still around 60 degrees at the typical crossover frequency range used to mate them to a HF horn combo. Best regards, John [/QUOTE]
