...more than just two or three elements (two fullranges with a tweeter in between or on top, all in a vertical line, is a common proven design)...but an array with a serious number of drivers can be a real problem if it has crossover networks - just too much interaction between the electronics of the network, the sound waves in the cabinet, and the comb filtering nodal effect in the room.....so the rule I was told was only use full range drivers and they all gotta be exactly the same, and it's better to curve the front surface slightly instead of a flat plane. Sooner or later, i AM going to build the vertical array I have EIGHT fullrange drivers for, with a curved front surface (actually, I'm going to try a double-curve), and the cabinet internally rear folded horn loaded. Whew!! We'll see. It'll be great, lousy, or somewhere in between, but at least I'll have learned something. :) BTW, I plan to drive it with the 813 that is also slowly in process...... :)
