Or is the line array system better but only up to a certain distance?

P.S. Thx for the fast response BTW

I don't think you understand what a line-array is, and what it accomplishes.

I cannot tell you the physics behind this (because I do not know it!), but the resulting function of a true line-array systems (BagAmp and Bose) is that they have greater propagation of the sound (travels further at a more consistent volume from the source).

Herb may be able to fill us in on the details...?
