Hi Kevin thanks so much for following our videos and commenting. While it’s nice to “Top Gear” the high end stuff we are always conscious that not everyone can afford these things. However I do believe there are DIY kits of line source speakers that are in effect not dissimilar. I’ll see if we can dig that info up and present that too..

@@HomeTheatreEngineering Andrew, Thanks so much for also looking out for the common man. Sure the real big money in business is selling/installing for those who, somehow, have too much money. But, there is so many regular humble families that would like a small piece of "luxury" also. The wisdom that you and many others here on KZfaq and in forums offer us is priceless to us. I, like so many others, are doing the best we can on a small budget and with your help like yours we can get our systems performing well. I hope to have the education and experience to someday be able to help folks build/tune/calibrate their systems into something to be proud of. Thanks again for everything and please have a great safe day, Kevin

Can’t argue with that !

@@HomeTheatreEngineering And Imaging on Line Arrays is not that great specially when compared to even mediocre Point source speakers and if one goes high end stuff then the difference is more obvious. I only like the line arrays which still have directive wave guide to limit the horizontal dispersion which makes them bit more zonal but then still not got the depth. I guess that is the physical limitation we need to accept.

Thanks you so much for your kind words. We really appreciate the support. No pressure but we use all the help we can get so do check out out Patreon page at www.patreon.com/HomeTheatreEngineering and also please suggest any videos you would like to see. Thank you once again.

Well if we can help, regardless of where you are, don't hesitate to get in touch. And thank you for your comment

Consider Arendal too! They're great.

Give me a call and come and check our showrooms and have a coffee Dave

I think your comment needs more detail - what specifically are you saying is ridiculous. Yes the designs are simplified but there is massive difference between the way these speakers perform. We have built our own rooms and many others and we have measured and monitored the difference in performance. So overall we stand by the different properties of these in comparison with point source speakers

Hi Scott. Nope not sponsored at all we paid in full for everything in that room. Re the quotes I will have to review them in detail but I would stand by them depending on context. I would say yes to first first if you want as close as possible to matching spl in every seat. And regarding the second also true if you consider good sound being as close as possible to even spl in all seats and access to each discreet channel. And yes, there is a difference between the common definitions of line arrays and line sources. But a line array that is over a certain dimension is also a line source and a line source is constructed from a line array of speakers, so …… and yes not all of wisdoms speakers are line source. Some are point source and any line source advantages apply to all line source brands.. Hope this helps. We have NEVER ever been sponsored paid nor received free product. I have visited facilities such as Krix and Wisdom at their expense. For transparency this had not happened nor had been offered nor proposed when we shot these videos.. (krix yes, wisdom no).

We thought about it. But playing these speakers from a 24 channel system with full dynamic range into a KZfaq video that is compressed and generally played back on a phone, tablet or TV is not in any way going to represent the performance nor the physical attributes of these speakers. After all, the only way to experience line source is…. on line source speakers! Anyone who thinks that videoing a screen or recording a speaker for playback on KZfaq is indicative of its actual performance especially when the technologies are in no way comparable or similar is not really understanding what is being discussed. We are very open to suggestions. How would you suggest we go about this? Finally our Australian showrooms are open by appointment and you are most welcome and Wisdom Audio have demonstration rooms in US and UK for those wishing to experience this first hand.

Agree totally with the H.T.E guys about this as a medium to judge performance. Recently we witnessed some video images doctored on social media take them look better than they were...so agree with the guys...best to go see for yourself 🙂
