How do the Neo3PDRs compare, sonically to the better Founteks, say NeoX 2.0 or NeoX 3.0?
Is it necessary to have the tweeters also in a line array and down so close to the floor, when they have such limited vertical dispersion? I mean, how would it work to just have tweeters in the "ear height" range?
I thought that controlling room reflections of treble helped with soundstaging/imaging?
Isn't the tall line of tweeters creating a problem that a fewer tweeters solves?
I really don't know, I'm just asking, because from my position of ignorance, a 30 foot tall line array of tweeters, or whatever those Megaliths are, seems counter-intuitive.
Can't wait to hear them, though!

A line driver only has a cylindrical launch when the wavelengths are short in relation to the line length. When you do get that condition, it will be a cylindrical launch. If you want to then cover a relatively large vertical listening area (assuming the line is oriented in the vertical direction) the line has to extend the whole distance over which you will be listening. If you go beyond the ends of the cylinder the output will fall dramatically.
