[QUOTE="Simon Eves, post: 206040, member: 4463"] I would love to fly something centrally, but I don't think that's an option. It would need hardware and a structural survey that we can't afford. I should probably have said that if I do buy new gear for this, I will want it to be portable and usable in other venues, not a permanent install in this one, although it is where I shall be doing at least two more loud shows this year. For a show about three years ago, we rented a pair of K12s, but other than a bit more headroom and bass, I didn't think they were a huge improvement over the FBTs, although I also didn't really tune them properly. I think I'm going to try to borrow or rent a single sub for a weekend and see how far I can push the FBTs. That would be the cheapest solution for this show. If we do buy or rent something entirely different, though, it sounds like 12" tops with one or two 18" subs would be about right, which is good, because that was already my assumption... (and Max, you are correct, no rake on the audience... all seats on the floor... we want to put in risers eventually, but we can't afford those right now either). [/QUOTE]
