There was tons of that garbage around back then. Forget it! First of all, how would you find all those drivers? Next why on Earth would you want to build a speaker designed before the publication of Thiel and Small"s paper?

There are very, very few speakers from that era that were any good. I can tell from your description of that speaker, it wasn't one of them!

Put your cash and effort into something that will have a better chance of success.

If you are interested in large line array speakers, check the new LS series from AV123:

Or get the kit version from GR Research for a DIY project:

Better still avoid long line sources. There is far too much driver interaction and comb filtering. Been there done that!
