Tom Danley Signature Series HRE1 4,400-watt 4-way Powered Loudspeaker

It's actually the other way around. They are PA speakers that sound like home speakers. I know Tom Danley well enough to know that his goal was to have PA and Home sound have the same FIDELITY and be scalable from Restaurants to Stadiums. He did the sound for the Disney Star Wars display at Epcot and everything in between. He has never deviated from trying to create the Emotional impact of Music, no matter where his speakers are heard or what size they are in proportion to the venue.

What does that even mean?

A loudspeaker isn't a musician, or even a musical instrument in the normal sense of the term.

Has he discovered where the Emotional impact of Music inerrantly comes from?

Right, but after clicking the first image with 2 front woofers all other photos show side woofers, so they may be two versions, or either one

I suspect that the version with the 2 front firing woofers is the final.

That is the ILE3 He should have called it Metronome:

That is the ILE 3 it has wider dispersion and is a bit cheaper.
I haven’t heard that one, the U.K. disti is receiving an HRE but not that model.

All you guys' theories aside, Tom Danley measures his loudspeakers OUTDOORS, with numeric accuracy and TRUTH. Skeptics need not apply here.

If he can combine 64 compression drivers into one SUPER Super Tweeter to throw highs across the length of a Football Field (J4-31), designing a Home loudspeaker with all the modern stuff was just a matter of time for him.

Hi, I'm not about theory at all. I'm about measurements.
And I've been a big fan of TD, since I built Labhorns back around 2000.
And got to meet Tom at a tradeshow, and he graciously helped launch me on to building about 10 different DIY Unity/Synergy versions...with very good success.

That said, I know marketing specs when I read them, because I measure so much on my own.
DSL has marketing built in their specs. It's think it's a tug of war between the boss, vs Tom & Ivan.

They may be among the more honest of manufacturers, but imo, make no mistake they stree..ttcch specs like most everyone else.

I would interpret it to mean that the speakers are able to achieve both the SPL requirements of PA and the fidelity requirements for home hifi.

I believe it is the case that amongst PA speakers they are producing some of the most accurate ones.
