pfffffffft..........those things are childs play..............

Entry level system that can beat people down.

The real system I'm planning would have left corpses piled on the front porch //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

... I'm in the process of wiring 24KVA electrical service into my audio room //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

WOW...is having all those speakers really worth it? I bet you could take about 10 away and not even notice the difference.

line array foo, and YES the displacement DOES matter.

The whole point of the line array is to have that many speakers...

Me, I'm gonna start small and do only 9 speakers per side....18 total.

But then, I won't have those cool ribbon tweets...(I'm to cheap/poor)

i want me some ribbons //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Technically, they ain't ribbons. Manufacturers are also guilty of calling magnetic planars 'ribbons' when they aren't true ribbons. Another name, isodynamic magnetic planar or isodynamic planar.

Ribbons are totally different animals by design. The common ribbon is a strip

of thin aluminum suspended in the magnetic field, pass current it vibrates. But

the ohms on that piece of aluminum is near a dead short so you need a transformer

to change impedance to 8 ohms, the ****** is built into the ribbon tweeter.

Planars are etched voice coils on a thin high temperature material like polyimide,

if you look closely you see the voice coil traces on the diaphram and because

the traces are long runs, the resistance is higher thus not requiring the ******.

{not sure what else gives it the higher impedance}

The market lacks good planars though, ones with higher sensitivity and power

handling. I can only think of a few that are uber enough to be used in the pro

audio industry, but I have never seen or heard of true ribbons being used in

that industry -- perhaps because they are too fragile and blow on a transient.

I'm surprised how robust those cheap $25 PT2's are, they are entry level planars,

but they are handling my torture very well. Those can't touch my pro planars though, Godzilla vs. Bambi analogy..... /stomp

Liar! You aim to torture and belittle us lowly peasants that follow you. Every once in a while we catch you off guard and get something useful from you, like discarded table scraps.
