[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 2586681, member: 560358"] I talked to branwell recently and in the past about drivers and speaker design. His line array comments had me interested because I haven't tried the newform ribbons because the specs on them didn't indicate they are a good candidate for higher SPL line array designs. He seemed to agree and said the output is weak. I think he also made a one tweeter line array before. I encouraged him to explore the line array in more detail using much better tweeters to get more output as the line array will beat out the horn design with ease, but it *may* cost more to implement. People using horns usually use them because it's the lowest cost method to get SPL and it's easy to build. The good news, he really seems to like the sound from that horn setup so I posted his design here because it might be in the reach of people interested in the bigger sound without spending a bazzilion dollars. PHL Audio right now is on the top of my list for best midrange drivers. [/QUOTE]
