Rick:
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I had already read John’s review of the 2-way design. I came away with the feeling that John thought the success of that design was primarily due to the 2900Hz crossover point. Maybe I’m reading too much into it.I have read all the reviews I could find on Fountek ribbon based line arrays. I know you are thoroughly familiar with several of these designs. I have not found a single negative comment about distortion or sound quality from these tweeters, only glowing reviews about their sound. I was hoping for an answer approximating “distortion from an 8 tweeter array will be {insert equation and result here} less than a single tweeter operating at the same total output level.”
It appears that my desire to easily eliminating tweeters based on distortion and cross-over points is not viable.
Thanks,
Dave
