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 valve amps do help..
JM Lowther maybe used a Quad 22 - surely not monobloks on the easily blown Lowthers and yet I wonder how loud I need to go?
i plan to use my own kit- i have ESL57's - but no nearby back walls if sited around the nave.
Or small modern Tannoys..611's I think and then some 12 inch Tannoys in 1960 rat cabs...or are good JBL level PA's likely a more reliable way?
i can use one stereo or two monoblokked naim 110's for around 50 watts/channel
or 2x25 watt Valve monobloks - the wireless world design but I only have various chrome bumper naim pre's at present
a rega planet cd, vinyl is too much fhaffing at my age
I hope to offer the intimate sound of hifi than a digital PA type approach few of which catch my attention but letting that amazing Miserere vibe out is the task.
There are few absorbent surfaces apart from people but its a big space might seat a 1000 at a push with 2 side chapels seating say 50 and a big choir and organ loft....but thats at the rear and high...it may suit for such choir pieces but its a big space so would loose intimacy...? The altar space is going to be out of bounds and is a whole wing in itself......that will be behind any front located speakers My audience if lucky will be 50 ish
should I hire or blag standard PA or
stick with Lowthers approach.
Im in ireland now - near Cork but suppose some hifi shop exists there but I havent found it yet so dont know if any hire options exist - for instance of room EQ kit
Any tips on Lowthers approach and modern PA kit as hifi and speaker mounting the sound in gothic Church spaces?
