While you're at it, you could elaborate by building an
offset bipole using Bob's geometry and tuning and Duke's
Dream Maker concept with a nod to Jim Griffin. Keeping life
simple, of course.
It sounds like you are back toward the high sensitivity
side. How would you compare your lower sensitivity/more
conventional efforts -- is it as simple as lower coloration
versus better dynamics?
Hope all's well,
Skip

Sorry, Skip, the speaker you described in the first paragraph above sounds too simple, so could I make it an offset bipole MLTL line array? Actually, there are some effective meds for bipolar people like Duke, except that occasionally they become schizophrenic, believing they are surrounded by a swarm of little subwoofers or something equally delusional.
High sensitivity not! The typical 95dB sensitivity full range single driver offers that sensitivity only above 1khz, so you need a BSC filter to tame the highs, taking it down to the 90 to 92dB sensitivity range. Not a problem if you've moved all your tweekie/deekie little SET amps to a closet and replaced them with a real amp like a Krell.
