Line Array speakers?

Great line arrays needn't be huge. Mine are 62" tall and 15" wide by 14" deep. Yes, I have stereo subs as well, but I could have opted for ported rather than sealed arrays to obviate them. My loudpeakers do not dominate a 16' by 20' room.

Ha, well okay :-) THATS STILL a huge speaker in todays terms, the bigger the better I say though. I mean most of these things weigh in at 200 lbs plus EACH.. So I would consider that definite deal breaker for many buyers of speakers is all I was saying.

Anyone considering a line array speaker should take a listen to the superb Scaena. Don't let the tall height fool you. These speakers can sound good in small rooms.

Sure, if you've got $40k-$85k for just speakers and another $50k-$100k for electronics.

But, I think DioFan56 is looking in the $3k-10k range.

Hi all!

Yup, Darkmobius, I was looking in the $3K - $10K price range. I can barely afford $3K! I just bought a pair of 'small' line arrays with 6 7-inch Vifa drivers and 6 Fountek ribbon tweeters in each cabinet. Yes, line array speakers are quite large and heavy. That is the downside to them. The cabinets are about 64 inches high and weigh in at about 175 pounds each. They are being shipped to me as I write this. Dave at Art of Sound made the cabinets. He had help with the crossover from Rick at Selah Audio. I am very anxious to get them. I may put larger bases and casters on them so that they can be moved around.

When I get the speakers and my new equipment racks I will post pictures of the old and new setups.
