"At the risk of giving away one of my sound reinforcement 'secrets' ;) , this is often because the mids and uppers are too directional for the venue, and so I always designed systems to have wide dispersion as high up as possible. This improves both the direct sound and the reverberant sound, and makes it much easier to tune the system, and have people coming away saying 'wow, that band sounded great!'."
Dangit, that was gonna be MY secret!
I get to design the mains and subs for this system, so a lot of attention is being paid to the off-axis sound. Since this is an indoors-only system, that approach pays dividends in the oft-neglected reverberant field (at the expense of maximum SPL per dollar). Or so I theorize, not having done it on this scale before; must say that your experience along these lines is most encouraging. Thanks!
