Unfortunately that seems to be part of some club owners learning curve. We had the same thing happen a few (quite a few) years ago where we were outbid by a guy who brought his "Killer" PA system which consisted of some type of Shure Vocalmaster or Peavey column speakers. He showed up to do a show in a 1200 seat room for a major national southern rock act. I am not kidding, this really happened. We had been doing that room with four 18" W boxes and four JBL double 12" and a 2" tops per side and eight 15" monitor wedges. We tried to tell the promoter in every way we knew how that it was going to be a disaster. In the end they crashed and burned as you would expect or maybe even worse.
