[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1197302, member: 560358"] That's a good no non-sense design. Driver cost for that system is $200 per box. The Dayton midrange idea is just too whimpy for a band, the vocals would get drowned out pretty bad. Even that smithereen system would be barely adequate if the guitar player likes to play loud and if the guitar player is using more than a single 12", forget it, he's drown out the voice. Most bands lack vocal authority and get drowned out by instruments. Ever been to a concert where you understood the words sung? // hehehehe // The NSB line array idea has interesting benefits for less driver cost but involves more labor. We already have one guy who compared the NSB array to the $2000 Bose PAS system and they think it's an awsome alternative and the system was tested live with great results => and he didn't even use a tweeter on the NSB array, he did use an active crossover and EQ that was standard gear for this rig. A two tower '8 driver NSB's array' stacked on top of each other is $24. 49 cent per driver + shipping = ~ $24 experiment. Get some cheap plywood and make a small tower and if you don't like it, you didn't spend tons of cash on it. Worse case, you can sell the system to another band and profit off the deal.
