I doubt we had this in mind when discussing disco dave's..peavey kit - amongst other items. Seems like he is a collector

No lovely Gothic stone pillars in play - perhaps one day when the place is empty i can 'rearrange' the wiring on every second speaker by introducing 'acoustic spark delay relays' with a pair of wire cutters....definitely no blasting will be allowed by me but I had hoped to avoid Daves disco...

Hi Martyn i changed churches because of the completely inaudible homilies via the usual excess of speakers around the church setting up multiple conflicting echoes.i have never heard such bad PA's in my life....this is with the church 1/3 to 1/4 full but dispersed at covid paranoid levels ...i...

Thanks Steve and moofi for those very precise views....going back to what linnfomaniac said about horn loading full on firing to the front jobbies....Allegri etc did compose for omnidirectional circumstances and performance ....just musing really i could locate at the rear firing forward below...

Well I will research quotes perhaps but it is aimed at being a small scale charity event....i am happy to subsidise but doubt I will raise a large amount - its just my local parish in rural Ireland with one of those enormous churches...that is however the best heated church I have ever been...

I thought they might have anti gravitic capability's but thats not been released yet.. I actually like omni directionals but this church is big

Perhaps if I shine a laser into the night sky beolab will see my signal and beam a pair down but i think they might demand too much attention ...Lowther did his demo's behind a curtain with a musician or two as well as the lowthers....but I dont want to lug beolabs into a choir loft ...

Yeah you got it.....disco dave the sonic curse - one step better though than the ludicrous PA's seemingly sold ecumenically to Churches accross the entire planet. Designed by atheists to prevent the litany and homilies from intelligibility.... thats a very full list thanks...i will web search...

Yeah.... it wont be very personal ...everyone has a set of those but I have never heard JBL just the routine pub and hall setup on those folding stands....i have some JBL's but I gave those to my wife before she....oh well thats another story.. thanks Linnfo ...what sort of power requirements do...

Maybe this should be in Classic? As a charity fund raiser I plan to play Misere - Allegri and maybe Missa Pape Marcelli in a 100 year old Irish Church ...not sure yet but the Miserere will be Tallis Scholars but their Marcelli Mass on my cd of the 1980 vinyl is a bit weird in the treble...but...

looks interesting I will eventually search for a streaming link...I don't do that except utube

Monterverdi Vespers was the first double LP I bought He and Gabrieli had the Polyphonic choirs thing down up, real analogue stereo in ambient spaces..Music composed for certain spaces...woah they brought polyphonics to me

proud to say I have a perfect vinyl copy from the late 70's ..it is a fabulous piece of work and when it came out I only had my Dansette to play it on and it still sounded completely out there

Ok ...early analogue Gimmel is better in my ears...thanks for your recomendation. I do like the early English composers though and English choirs. The Germans in Voce doing the Ave Verum are exciting. Your Orgarnum piece is much more enclosed type of music and of differrent theological intent, I...

The plot thickens This afternoon I found an earlier analogue AAD cd of Tallis Scholars from 1980 ( called Allegris Miserere) now on Gimmell but originally vinyl Music for Pleasure - Palestrina, Missa Papa Marcelli, William Mundy and Allegris Miserere it's as clear as a bell and is also from...
