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

P.S. Thx for the fast response BTW
In a line array, the rate at which volume diminishes with distance is less than that of a conventional speaker system. Therefore, a line array projects sound with less drop off. The effect is similar to that of a flashlight with a focused beam.
