Doug, I thought you were gonna jump in with something about the i series.   I still can't believe the great sound of those tiny boxes and the low price point.

The dome tweet more or less precludes using them for reinforcement.  Plus no pole cup, etc.

Why does the dome tweeter preclude SR use? (Asked out of ignorance)

[Brian Jones]

It seems two things other than the obvious (spl and audio quality) that would be important, are dispersion angles for fill purposes and mixer section features.

The dxr and k series have excellent mixer sections. IIRC the dxr are all 90 degrees while the K gets wider as woofer gets smaller.

It won't get loud enough for most applications.  They do sound nice, though.

I've been using Community CPL-23 boxes for years for fills, corporate and distributed (party, fashion-show type)  It gets plenty loud enough and it was only recently that I took one apart to find it had just a dome tweeter!
It still projects vocals fairly well, however I've re-evaluated how hard I ever want to push them though.
(It is an install box but comes stock with a U-bracket and I had the speak-on connector added)
For primary PA I once used 16 of them along a truss over a catwalk for a celebrity fashion show because the client didn't want to see PA boxes and the tent we were using couldn't handle our normal boxes.  Normally though they are always augmenting a "real" PA
Another dome-tweeter box I was always happy with was the Ramsa 80.  Would probably be using them instead of the CPL's if they still made them.
For a more robust small box I like the coax 8" Radian driver either in their box or in my custom-built ones

Yeah, the Ramsa boxes, I forgot about them. Anyway, the VUE install boxes James alluded would be just fine on a truss for distributed work.  Main PA, not so much.  Logic Systems here in STL has a recurring corporate gig, using VUE i6-A (powered) clamped to uprights for a distributed system.
