I've been a recent lurker since this board has upped in discussion.

Suppose I built a speaker system in MTMW format, as I was thinking of doing: my ultimate system. Each channel would be as follows :

2- Scan-Speak Revelator 15W8530-K00 Cost: $212 each
Very Low distortion midrange speaker

1 - Scan-Speak 602010 ($199) tweeter very low distortion Tweeter

1- 18Sound 6ND430-16 mid woofer Cost: $130

1- And a 12 inch sub woofer at about $140(Dayton RS is one I like with very low distortion)

And I used electronic crossovers and four separate amps.

------

This combined two channel reference system would cost $1800 for the speakers, maybe $1600 for the amplification, and another $200 for the materials to build the cabinets for a DIY cost of about $3600

Why would I do a line array instead of this? And if I did do a line array, could I build a line array that would blow this away if I spent the same? Or, if I could spend less, what could I spend that would blow it away, and what would that cost?
