Horizontal dispersion of LineSource as a surround speaker:
The red line shows the extremely uniform and wide dispersion characteristics in the high notes of the LineSource. As a result this speaker is ideal for surround channels. Surround loudspeakers are often constructed as a dipole. Due to tweeters and Midranges which are emitted out of phase an diffuse sound quality can be generated. The VoicePoint LS200 generates A similarly broad (diffuse seeming) dispersion without the phase problem of a dipole.
An A 5.x installation mounted with high-quality speaker is preferable to an 11.x. The installation comes up with mixed types of speakers. Someone who enjoyed music and film in a homogeneous balanced 5.1 home theater, has usually no desire for more speakers. 5 line sources with same acoustic properties ensure the homogeneous sound quality.
With the introduction of BluRay also 7.x mixtures have ben established. Two more LineSources be installed in the rear area.
