In either case we must have super loud bars here compared to where you are - I had to fire a band (for the second time :roll:) the other day that bitched about it not "looking" loud although it was 105dBC 40 feet back from the "stage" at the bar - folks seem to expect to have trouble ordering or it ain't loud enough.
