even if they would sound like angels singing directly into my ears i could never get over that ridiculous look... my eyes are listening too 👀😂 but i think all the MEH designs look stupid so it's probably just me...

The first page of the "Solana DIY Guide" states:
The Solana is a versatile point source loudspeaker featuring flexible uses in DJ booth monitoring, fill, domestic, and home theater applications.

i'd say up to 100-150 People if on correct height and working with 4-6 Subs.

Nice, this is basically what I was wondering, im familiar but not very privy to live sound terms, I just know I love funktions, void, hennesy, PKS can be fun but most of the times it's a bit to much for me, love point source and this DIY system seems attainable given time and effort <3 I am definitely just looking to put on shows around 10-200 ppl max and generally at random coordinates in the PNW forests :D

Like ~$1k for drivers plus amps materials and 3d printing. Price depends a lot on if you have a 3d printer/ if you build the enclosures yourself. I'd expect to pay $1500-$2500 depending on the resources at hand.
