I thought the sound was great. I used a 1/3 octace equalizer, and i was impressed. But when I hooked up the tweeters, and the woofers, I discovered the missing sound. I disconnected the equalizer, and haven't used it since.



That's the most frequent reaction I've heard about full range driver line arrays. The shortcomings are subtractive, so you don't notice them until you compare to an array with a single line of full range drivers to one with separate lines of woofers and tweeters, and only then do the advantages of having a separate tweeter array become obvious.
