line arrays CAN be mega cool. they have pros and cons. first, if the baffle is a verticle flat plain, you may get comb filtering, with nodes and dropouts. if the front baffle is curved in so the overall curve has lilke a ten foot radius, than that actually defeats the comb filtering effect, loses some of the cylindrical effect but still has a large stereo image than point sources. my personal belief is the more different the mixup of drivers in the array, vertical or not, the more problems you're gonna have, and i do mean problems, although i've seen a bunch of bookshelp designs that work pretty decent with two vertical aligned mid-range range speakers that can also extend into the bass some, with a tweeter in between, all in a vertical line (the vertical line keeps the sharp stereo image - start adding extra stacks horizontally, and the stereo image doesnt' broaden, it smears. the one i'm working on has EIGHT fullrange drivers in a more or less vertical line with some interesting sliht tweaks in the angles and this huge folded horn behind - it's gonna be SUMPIN.
