Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: I think the important thing to remember is sensitivity (SPL) varies with distance --

The array length doesn't affect sensitivity, only the frequency to which it behaves as a line source. The number of drivers does affect sensitivity, with each doubling resulting in a 6dB voltage sensitivity increase, but not indefinitely. There comes a point where adding more drivers doesn't give more sensitivity. That point is reached early on in the high frequencies, extending lower as more drivers are added. Most speaker modeling software isn't capable of showing this, HornResp is. Use the multiple speaker tool to see what happens as more are added to the pile. This isn't a line array only characteristic, it applies to all multiple driver/multiple speaker arrays.
