two things.
Aside from the other good advice already given.
Listen to ONE speaker or a pair on a larger than usual baffle.
IF you don't like the sound of ONE you will not like the sound of as many as you stack up.
You need the large baffle to do a valid comparision...
The second thing is besides considering ALL of the prior efforts that you can dredge up, be sure to consider what BOSE did with the original 901 speakers. While this is not likely what you want to do, but it holds some clues about using small drivers full range...

Hi wesayso, it was your project that inspired me to try an array! I already had the amps and processing from previous multi way projects so yes, I have an XTA DP448 which does crossover to the subs and EQ. These arrays would sound terrible without EQ.
I am just amazed how good they sound bearing in mind that I have owned multi way speakers (up to 4 way active) for years! Need to have another good read of your thread to fully get to grips with the many ways that you optimised your arrays though..
In that case: I'm glad you like the results!
Couldn't agree more. You better like the driver you start with, as I've said before: you get it back on steroids.
Meaning all the good things and all of it's quirks add up.
