[QUOTE="Sean Zurbrick, post: 74922, member: 208"] Re: 4 quieter foldbacks versus 2 louder ones It really comes down to what you're looking to do. Generally speaking and understanding not all specs are apples to apples, "louder" boxes are going to be higher quality boxes. You have to decide if 4 lesser quality boxes or 2 better boxes make more sense to you. As you've already pointed out, louder (probably better) boxes will serve you better for FOH substitutes. The downside is you may not have all the monitors you need to do the job. If you absolutely have to have 4 now and can't beg or borrow, then I guess that's the answer. The fact you're asking about only 2 tells me, although not ideal, you may be able to get away with 2.
