Somebody apparently doesn't care for overkill. You should hear the clarity at painful levels.

line arrays have a number of advantages. When you double the distance from the driver, they drop off by 3 dB rather than 6 dB. They also have extreme efficiency in this case, meaning very little power is needed to get to painfully loud levels. That means they don't have to do much work to produce the output because of all the surface area which results in lower compression and distortion. Even if you used a horn driver with the same efficiency, at 4m ( the approximate listening distance in his room), it would take 4x as much power for the horn to produce the same output. Get the volume level up a bit, and the compression will reduce the efficiency even more with the horn.
Also, the design of the front and center channels minimize reflections off adjoining surfaces.

No,
I am a big fan of overkill. I was just wondering if there was an actual accustic reason for doing it, other then the 'cool as hell' factor. Thanks for the answer guys, was just wondering.
