Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams


Has anyone heard these before?
What are the problems with a line array?
Any problems with the crossover?
What kind of amplification to use?
Are the subs powered or passive?

Notice an unusual amount(4) for sale right now. At most, one set comes up every 9 months to a year.

Makes me wonder if dealers are closing out inventory.

I too noticed all the different Pipedreams up for sale
The thing that catches my attention is that all four are sold by two dealers at almost 1/10th original retail price.

Although, none look to be current models.

I own a pair of 924...I think they are the cleanest, most dynamic, and best soundstaging I have owned. That includes Apogee, Acoustat, Thiel, Vandersteen, and Genesis.
That's really interesting Rkochies. I have been going back and forth between line arrays and Apogees(Diva, Duetta Sig, or Scintilla) for my next speaker purchase. The amp demands have kind of kept me away from the Apogees and lack of feedback from many array owners has kept from those.

Can you give a little insight into the difference in musical presentation between the Pipedreams and Apogee or Acoustat?
Thanks Rkochies, I was leaning that way simply because of the amp demands that larger Apogees place on a system. Not to mention, w/ two 70lb playful dogs, the danger of a toy or one of them damaging a panel is fairly high.
