You may be surprised to know we do other forms of music. Oldies, some common pop tunes, big band and swing, etc. sure there are some groups who are simply hokey and managed to get paid. Like any other form of music you can't paint everybody with a broad brush.

Yes I am a junior member. And I belong to other forums as a senior member. Neither status gives me or anybody else the right to walk on anybody else, or takes away the right to defend yourself. With all due respect, I'm glad you understand.

I'll admit I may be wrong here; are senior members here granted certain inalienable rights that others aren't? Perhaps Nigel can answer that.

Back to the subject, again I choose Electro-Voice for clarity. SB122 subs and ZX1 satellites. Power amps in the rack. Add Klipsch 15's for big stuff. Everything runs through the mixer. Proper equalization is a must- some ignore this. Even the best speakers can sound crappy if no one pays attention to the eq settings. I back off on the midrange to take the "mud" out. Outdoor venues require different settings than indoor- I find it's just not set it and forget it for all jobs.
