A theatre I work in regularly has three flown QSC HPR122i's, which they bought from another frequent occupant who got fed up putting them up and down for their own shows, after the previous (crappy) house system died.
The problem is that there is a gap in the coverage, as the seating area is L-shaped, with two speakers on the long side and one on the short side, but nothing covering the "elbow" of the L, which is also unfortunately where the mix position is, so I think they really need a fourth speaker.
Should they go to the trouble and risk of trying to find another used HPR122i, or just get a K12 which are easier to find (both used and, of course, new), but perhaps may not quite match tonally.
Or perhaps a K10 or K8, as arguably the gap doesn't need another 12, although I am aware that the coverage angles vary (K12=75x75, K10=90x90, K8=105x105).
Opinions, please!
