I started this thread out with a simple question based on curiosity over whether comb filtering in a system such as this is as bad in real life listening as the measurements and theory would have us believe. Quite a simple query I thought, but soon people were running around with their arms flailing. These forums certainly are facinating, aren't they?
I can assure you all I know how a line array works, and I know what comb filtering is and what its affects are. It's precisely this knowledge that makes me and some of the others here curious about the sound quality of the IDS-25.
Anyway, I thank Greggo for his calm and reasoned reply, and Jim for his. I response to Jim, I did read FredT's post's on the general Forum (thank you for pointing me in that direction), and also his comment's on his own web site at the link below (I'm asuming it's the same guy), which seem even more positive.
I'm simply interested in whether this type of implementation can work or not, nothing more. It seems from what I've read so far that this is a reasonably good stab at a full range array, which makes it worthy of our curiosity. Is it perfect? I doubt it. But it is interesting....
Sorry if I ruffled any feathers. Thanks gentlemen.
Steve
