The speakers in a line array must be very close together. I don't know if most of the SoloAmp's 6 speakers are mounted close enough but it has the tweeter placed between two of the 4-inch woofers. Thus, those two woofers are probably too far apart. Anyway, if the speakers are spaced properly, since there is only one tweeter, the line array would only be effective up to the crossover point which is 4,000 Hz. Any thing above that frequency would be radiated out in the same way as a conventional speaker system.
