All, Last week I got asked to save a friend's son's wedding by providing tunes (their guy flaked). So, I packed up my 4 Pi's, amp rack, and mixer, iPod, etc. and headed out. I'll spare you the details, but on the system side, I've got Eminence Omega Pro 15's, and Altec 811-B's with new Selenium D220Ti drivers, 2 Behringer power amps, a Behringer DCX2496 crossover, and a Behringer DEQ2496 digital EQ + RTA + stuff. The 4 Pi's have Eminence PSD2002 drivers and Selenium horns with standard Pi passive crossovers, but bi-amping to the 811's and D220's at ~1.6KHz are a significant improvement. I'm totally impressed with them, and from PE, they are fairly cheap.
I've attached a couple of pictures. One of the setup at the wedding with the father of the groom, the other the rack.
Once I got all the connections and levels set, the sound was *very* impressive. In a word, it sounded BIG. So much so that I turned the bass down a little. The setup can get very loud, but its so clean its hard to judge how loud it really is. *Very* nice... At ~5ft, it was running ~95dB, with plenty of room to crank it up way more. Didn't get the chance. This may become a retirment job... Mixer, speakers, and father of the groom. Rack with EQ, xover, and amps Chris
