Cheap line array... what do you think of these speakers?

Do you think they'd make a cool line array? 8 per side, mated to a couple of small Dayton Neos?

This will be a high crossover point for one.
#2 it'll have to be really near field like computer speakers.

The F/R is pretty nasty above 1k. And 8 per side is < 3 feet. And you would probably want to cross to a sub above 120Hz or so.

So it doesn't look that hot to me...

You'll need more than eight to make an array; however, there are better choices. Spend a few more $ and get something like the HiVi B3S.

Thanks for all your help. I thought I could get away with 8 drivers per side.. now I wonder how many I really need!

To have the acoustical benefits of a true line array it needs to be as tall as the ceiling....

Wow.

I'd better start saving some money now. No, not really. My ceiling is far too high in my listening room (13 feet?)

Thanks Thomas!
