Festival went really well. Ran with 35 watt Tube amp and sound was more than enough to fill the gym. During setup we turned up one of the current pop/dance tunes to see how it sounded, and I think the paint started peeling. Everybody in the gym stopped setting up and their eyes got real big. Still crystal clear but dance club loud. The soft dinner music at start was really sweet (Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, etc.)
The venue made a definite difference in sound. Bass was pronounced with mids and highs much softer than in living room. I was thinking going in that there would be a lot of midrange reflection due to block building. Didn't really have time to mess with moving speakers to different positions to see how that would change things. Just goes to show how much I have yet to learn about sound in general and it will be interesting trying different things out in the future.
Thanks again to Wayne for designing such a versatile speaker that can squeeze out every detail at home and also rip the roof off a gym, yet sound just as at ease in either case.
