Hello,
I have long admired how the leslie acts practically like an acoustic instrument- it disperses sound every which way, but in a circle not a sphere like a drum, say. I'd like to do the same thing with hifi type sounds. Like voices.
The idea is for everything to disperse sound in a similar way, amplified and non-amplified instruments alike. Not where the acoustic instruments throw sound everywhere and the speakers act directionally- impossible to get the mix natural all around.
Bose has this PAS mini-line-array-on-a-pole thing that seems very much like the right idea except it's not stellar quality and really I would like to use tube amps, because for my money they throw the sound more like acoustic instruments do. Try swapping out the leslie amp with a solid state amp, and it dies- the sound never makes it out of the leslie it seems. I'm thinking it will be similar with some kind of thing with direct speakers pointing all around. Does such a thing exist on a scale to fit with acoustic drums for instance?
Also there's the possibility of having some kind of thing for bass with the speaker pointing down into a reflector like a leslie but not spinning and equally distributing 360 degrees.
Can y'all see what I'm getting at? Any ideas?
