There is a sound company over here that builds organ sound systems with pipe resonators (Kienle), and they cycle pitches through different sized resonators (each with its own speaker) using a sophisticated crossover system. I visited their showroom, and while the technology was interesting and impressive, it was quite expensive for what it was. I left there suspecting that one could achieve a similar effect without the complexity and expense simply by using traditional speakers via multiple audio channels. It looks like sweetwater set you up to do just that!
It's interesting you should mention them... I just stumbled across their page a few days ago. It does look quite interesting. When it comes to electronic organs though, you have to cut your losses. There comes a point where that kind of money is just better spent on a larger traditional sound system.
One of the biggest helps (from a clarity standpoint) is simply having more (good quality) speakers splitting the load. If you have the space (and finances) to accommodate that, then you can get a natural blending in the room in stead of one pair trying way too hard to do it all. I don't anticipate us moving anytime soon, however we are going to be having our first child this coming year so the possibility of house shopping is real. I'd be very curious to get my organ into a larger room that would allow me some space between myself and the speakers. I think this would benefit me tremendously. I strive to be content (my setup really couldn't be a whole lot better unless I paid to have a strictly HW console built from scratch) however it's also fun to have goals in mind.
