horn or line array?

Unless you can get used Vaugn plasma speaker, it will be 15k$ and up.

After being happy with Scaena 3.2, I had considered letting my Lansche 4.1 go.

But I found that Lansche is still better for female vocal music while Scaena give slightly wider soundstage.

You dont need to insist on speaker with plasma tweeter.

My Vaughn Cabernett II with ribbon tweeter and accuton ceramic midrange driver give also decent female voice although it falls  short of Lansche little bit.

cheapest speaker with ribbon tweeter ?

Go for plasma tweeter if you can afford.

But Altec A7 wihout passive network give nice female vocal.

Likewise, Scaena without passive network give very good female voice too.

Midrange driver of Lansche is connected without passive network like full range driver.

I hate passive network which reduces details.

but the sound of mini cymbal will be gone if without tweeter  ?  yes?

just make sure  get the information as many as posible before decide horn or line array

HORNS RULE!!!

@voodoofunk  wait  ,  jusy tell me why ?

@larryi 

Thanks for the kind words.

My guess about the comment "sounding like a cross between planars and horns" has something to do with the Apollo's lively, dynamic sound coming from a line array?

We will be exhibiting at Capital Audiofest again this year. We will be showing our new Gen 2 Apollo speaker system. They feature new and improved composite construction. Please stop by and say hello.

@jaytor , what line arrays are you using?

They are DIy based on a design developed by Danny Ritchie (GR-Research). These were originally designed as a commercial product for Serenity Acoustics. Each speaker has six Bohlender-Graebener NEO10 planar-magnetic drivers and sixteen NEO3 drivers in an open baffle design. The lower three octaves are handled by separate woofer towers, each of which incorporates four 12" servo-controlled woofers driven by their own 800w amplifiers.
