I was inspired by the 'Compound 30' speakers years ago, the cone shaped diffuser over the upward pointing, full range speaker was what I had in mind all along! That eliminates any "beaminess" or sweet spots, creating true omni-directionality, in theory. But I could build my own for SO much less!!!
The Parts Express AMT is nice, but reading it's description, it needs to be crossed over @ 2500 Hz, so it doesn't get as low as 800 without considerable rolloff. They are extremely directional, too. Good try, though.
So I look at the Behringers, and the Mackies, and the Adams, etc, and I'm left thinking, what makes them so special? They are all quality drivers, crossovers, amplifiers and a box! I COULD build my own!
I've been looking at some of Linkwitz Riley designs, now there is some wild designs!
Like I said before, we all have different ideas of perfection. But then, I like rhubarb pancakes!
