So the basic design features are the same, right? If I am not mistaken, both home hifi arrays and live sound arrays focus on directionality and coverage. The other thing is having so many drivers means each one won't work so hard, which increases SPL without increasing distortion. Both put the sound where you want it, both increase SPL and both reduce distortion. I think probably, now seeing your response and Fred's reply too, the live sound arrays and home hifi arrays are probably basically the same idea. If a compromise has to be made in a home hifi speaker, it will be done at the expense of power/SPL in favor of sound quality. In a live sound speaker, you have to have high power and loudness, so that can't be compromised.
Does this sound about right? Have I missed anything? What would you add?
