I'm all about full range line sources. ;)
Did Roger Russell ever make small speakers with fewer number of drivers? Or with different size drivers? And a remote equalizer to adjust the sound from the listening seat. I mean powered drivers. Will it be a train wreck as Coner nicely put it?

he was the Director of Acoustic Research at McIntosh labs for years. His first speaker was an ordinary three way.
The reference to "train wreck" was for the Sweet Sixteen possessing the odd grid of drivers which surely resulted in substantial comb filtering. Which has nothing to do with Russell.
Does Parts E. still sell that curved line array. I was thinking
that was a Russel design.

It was Don Keele .

I prefer using a single moving part for each speaker. Sixteen square feet for each just about does it. ;)
Yes, sheer sq. ft. would do it nicely.
Another engine reference: "There's no replacement for displacement".

for that thread on the Towers. It took a long time to digest, especially the cabinet part. What motivation! In spite of losing his job. Wonder if there are newer modified or smaller versions. Perhaps 5 drivers. Maybe of varying dia. Just a thought. Maybe just 3 of these Vifa drivers in a simple cabinet which could be marketed for a budget price. Wild thoughts.
Cheers
Bill
