Re: Do You Believe The Price Simply Equals The Sum Of The Prices Of The Parts Involved?

54, I don't think that I have heard these specific speakers, but we used to use vertical arrays in the Grateful Dead sound system more than 36 years ago, and found them to have real advantages. It is true that we usually used a horn tweeter array for the very highs, much for the reason that even small cones would have to be equalized to some extent.
However, my friend's system, that was more a curved array of 4 inch loudspeakers, was used at that time as well, and even Doc Watson complimented us on the sound quality after we did an outdoor concert with him. The real hangup at the time was the quality of the 4'' loudspeakers. JBL made a quality 4" BUT it did not have any linear throw (for some reason) and could not easily be used full range for this reason. Most speakers were Bose quality from CTS , etc. I will look into these Peerless loudspeakers, just to see what progress has been made over the last 30 years or so.
