",..,,As I said previously, if I were to try and build a speaker system with a driver that handled the entire frequency range (obviating the need for a crossover), I would try and put as many of them together in parallel as I could in the same box, but ,....."
Dont you know what you write?
I don't understand what your comment is complaining about. Is there some problem or inconsistency in what I said? Please clearly and explicitly explain what your concern is.
Many drivers in a line. Common in PA:You can not just add another fullband. It changes overall FR thru comp filtering and directivity.

The same principle CAN be used as/for home HiFi speakers. Big advantages of reducing floors and roof reflections (if they are built so they go from floor to ceiling) BUT this design principle also means big challenges, which tomtoo is talking about. It has to do with directivity, how sound from speaker elements radiates, at different frequencies. FR must be checked, leveled. It can be done but it requires work, see page 5, # 81 and onwards. Posts from Wesayso are clearly interesting. He is a well known DIY of line speakers, he addresses the challenges in that thread, after # 81

What listening distance will you have? It will dip in higher frequencies, do you think of EQa? With a straight line source of limited length, problems are obtained because the frequency response becomes distance dependent and also when the receiver position is above the top point of the source...

A pair of line speakers with, for example, 25 drivers in each speaker is something completely different than a pair of GR Research LGK 2.0.It's really like comparing apples and pears.
