Thanks for the explanation Bill. You certainly helped me with my project.
My concern here is all the hard, shinny surfaces and the lack of warmth in the room.
In the project I was involved with the speakers were about the same size, large Cerwin Vegas and in the corners of a very similar room with nothing but a dance floor and glass enclosed DJ room.
When the dance floor was full of people it sounded fine. When only a few were dancing it sounded absolutely terrible and very harsh with lots of reverberation from the floor and glass.
We built plywood boxes 15" high, filled them with sand and the room came to life at any volume.
Point taken, totally different speakers and sound concept.
The idea of the Altec Horn matched with the lascalas is very interesting indeed. I would say they are true "Bastard" speakers that look like they are ready to kick some ass!
