Re: This is an line array speaker..

wow, very cool, and you built them yourself. nice. i notice they are straight up and down; according to theory, you might have noticed some nodes and dropouts as you moved your head around - did you? - from comb filtering effect. the BIG advantage of a vertical line area is that you have a vertical ovoid cylinder of sound; the intensity decreases more or less linearly with the distance - with a point source speaker, you have pretty much a globe of sound, and the intensity drops off by the INVERSE SQUARE of the distance - and the stereo image tends to be really defined just for the one guy in the center of the couch. was this your experience?
