Hi,
I am a big fan of the Faital 3FE25 full range speaker. I've built a couple of XRK971's 0.53x Karlsonators with these, and I am still astonished how good they sound for a 3" with foam cabinet...
A few moments ago, I found the Carvin Audio TRX3903 array system uses these very same Faital 3FE25 speakers, and I only found good reviews for the TRX3903, flat from 160hz up to 20khz, so...
Is it worth it to make an array with 9x 3FE25 each, in a sealed cabinet with similar/exact dimensions of the TRX3903? Is there any other thing to consider here?
Do you think it's one sealed cabinet or multiple sealed ones? One for each driver?
I would make the baffles with a CNC, using 15mm plywood and all the drivers would be mounted flush, and with round-overed edges.
These would be paired with 2x 15" sealed subwoofers, and there is some DSP possibilities I can arrange (MiniDSP or 3E ADAU 1701). They will be powered will be standard AVR, but I hope to eventually use an ICEpower amp.
The use will be strictly movie watching and maybe some music listening (non critical) in a small rectangular room, with carpet and sound treated with acoustic panels on front and back walls (not in ceiling), at moderate listening levels (around 80-85db)
Here is more info on the TRX3903:

Also, I've read most of the wesayso's "Two Towers" thread here:

Thanks in advance for your insights!
