It's not so much loud as lush I guess. Enveloped. Since I've been reading that line arrays are the "opposite" (sort of) of point source, I thought it would be ideal for an HT speaker.

As it is, I really prefer the sound of my bi-polar Def Techs in the theater to anything else I auditioned. I tried B&W, planar, hybrids like the ML (so pretty IMO) and finally fell in love with the bi-polar (large) sound field. A large line array seems to be the next step up.

Loud is also good! I like action/scifi/fantasy so the ability to go loud is important but not the main character. In practical terms almost any speaker will be loud enough for me using the Outlaw.

I have a dedicated 2-channel setup so I can make any compromises for music (as in...I don't care if it's not ideal for critical listening) although I am seeing that line arrays have fans in the 2-channel world also.

Thanks for the center channel information. I'm leaning towards the Murphy Corner Line Array as the ideal setup. It seems to be a relatively economical 5.1 solution that's also unobtrusive, which is a plus.
