I'm looking to build new line arrays that are 6db or more efficient than my current line arrays, so that I can drive them to the levels I demand with a 300b SET. (Current arrays are Accuton c82 and Fountek ribbons, which require more juice than my 300b amps put out: right about the point they are putting out decent volume I get into amp clipping hardness.)

Anyone with experience with the PHY H21 driver?

My leading alternative is this much more efficient T6-96 Accuton:

In either case I'd likely be using the Fountek Pro5i ribbon for the high end. ( http://www.fountek.com.au/products/NeoPro5i/index.htm )

Opinions and suggestions welcomed.
