I think I have said it over 1599 times...the room is as important as the gear.

Great discussion. Have  alot of pro audio equipment like crown, jbl , electrovoice, ect. I have 12000 k crown amps and line arrays.i understand room treatments but it hard to do that in a outside venue.whatever you have enjoy the music.

I am realising, it’s more important. @wsrrsw 

 

@deep_333 A very experienced audiophile friend of mine, said the same, pro audio speakers serious kick butt. I briefly did consider going pro (Kii Audio was friend’s suggestion), after my epiphanical experience, but my Shindo+Devore combo sounds good enough, that for now I am sated.

 

@kennymacc Totally true. An audiophile in my circle thought the MSB Sentinel at 300k+ was reasonably priced for what it offers. Yikes!

 

@cns1946 Thank you!

The first sound company I worked for had Flag "Hi-Fi" boxes.  Two 18's, 3 12's, a 2" compression driver and two bullet tweeters, all in one box,  I don't miss moving those things around.

@tonyrox  I bet the S4's were painted black very slippery and we had to pyrmid

them to stack them up, then another i don't remember their name but the used straps with clips that went into the handles on each side to fly them in the air.
