I'd like to use somewhere between 4-8 large Heils as a quasi-line source. With a sensitivity rating of 93dB and a suggested usable frequency range of 700 or 800 to over 20Khz, what can I expect in way of improved performance by doing this?

Thanks, Thetubeguy1954

You might post on the Array forum if you don't get a response here.

What ever happened to those RCA horn-loaded (?) boxes you were working on?

I'm still working on them. Being that I own 1 of only 100-300prs made in the mid 1950's I'm actually trying to make them better than they looked new. One of the pair is completely stripped and the 2nd one is 75% stripped. After they're both completely stripped comes filling in all imperfections, sanding and then either paying someone to paint them piano black laquer or veneering them. As I'm disabled and cannot even move these cabinets without someone helping me (or else I hurt my back so badly I'm bedridden the next day or so) it's going to continue to be a loonggg sssllllloooooowwwwww process! But it's one that's honestly a labor of love and one who's end product should be well worth the wait.

Thanks for asking though, Thetubeguy1954
