By mixed-order, are you suggesting first order for lows, second order for mids, and third order for highs? That would require so many channels... The "well-funded wizarding school" is a large topic; I use what's available, and activate my "suspension of disbelief" engine. I don't know if my low-freq FOA horizontal-only decoder is good (cause I did not measure it), but it seems to work. I'd be interested to read your suggestion for a mixed order rig. I was surprised by the layout of the ENVELOP project. The plan view shows a rectangle, not an octagon. > i want small speakers with an excellent price/performance ratio that > are easy on the rigging. so all the low frequency gets offloaded to a > few subs. in the example i gave, we used kling & freitag ca106, which > were excellent for the job. That was my idea when I decided to use small 5.1 sets. But I prefered concentric/coaxial/fullrange loudspeakers, rather than two-ways, because I think they are more adequate in a small room. They can be cheaper too. -- Marc _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound - unsubscribe here, edit account or options, view archives and so on.
