[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I would think they might also compete with the mid-bass horns. The Auras can run up to 80, maybe 90Hz (you're probably going to say "60Hz max!!!"); would you really need to use the line arrays in the presence of a pair...

Looks fine, Anthony. I am not sure what resonance frequency tells you. Anyhow, a great advantage of your pipe topology for LF is that you will be able to pile up as many drivers as you need in order to hit the desired reference DB level.  There is...

Morning,I'm not disputing what you heard, but your conclusion that the LF must modulate the tweeter section can't possibly be right. 0.047uF is a -3db rolloff of 34Hz. If you're saying that over 0.68uF was fine, then by implication 0.47uF is not as g...
