Line Array Speaker vs Point Source Speaker

All of the line source speakers I have heard in my life sounded better and played with less distortion to my ears than any point source speaker. Line sources are better but they are much more expensive. The best usually is.

The speakers I use and sell have single drivers...they just happen to be very large and are designed to operate as full range virtual line sources.

Agree, expensive line source designs with multiple drivers are probably best in general for larger rooms where you want to go loud with lower distortion.

For smaller rooms, fewer drivers and designs that simulate a point source more work better in general. Some with larger drivers like the larger OHMs in particular can work very well in larger rooms also.

Essentialaudio you mean point source?

Johnk: No, virtual line source. Sound Lab full range electrostatic. You can read about it here.
