Duke,Glad to see that you had a chance to showoff your new speakers. I'm sure that they sounded very nice.
Thanks for your impressions on the IDS25. I have received a couple of requests from guys who want to build a similar design as a DIY project. Several people were impressed with this full range driver array but the $18,900 is too much for them. A similar set of arrays with small drivers from Hi-Vi or Aura can be realized for $1000 or so.
The IDS25 uses the Tymphany Peerless V-line (or just Vifa) TG9FSD10-08 3.5" full range (at least to 15,000 Hz) drivers. These drivers are listed as discontinued/obsolete on the Tymphany website.
Yeah I like what a line array does to the room. Dynamics without coloration are great.
