[QUOTE="John Renner, post: 212008, member: 12939"] Kevin, Thank you for replying. No, I have not tried turning off just one of them, I will have to physically unplug them to do that, but I will try it. The reason those speakers got hung, is I was following the theory that the more equal distant the speakers were from front and back, it would help with the overall sound levels. I realize that these speakers are good workhorses but are cheap and not the best fidelity. The room is 50ft wide X 70ft deep Some of the reason I went with a left right hang, is because on the far left, starts the violin, flute, sax, sax, guitar, then along the front from left to right there are the worship leaders, Piano, and podium center of room then on the right, the organ and back on the right side the trumpets. We are setup for mono going out to the speakers, we have reserved the L+R main outs for the recordings, Video out, Streaming etc. I know this might not be standard, but I've been trying to gain intelligibility and to some degree failing. I have no formal training in audio. But I have been using Yamaha book of audio as a reference. Yes that JBL speaker does have an extension that can be used, but as I read the usage, is for if there is a balcony, which we don't have. The length of the bottom portion is 40" tall and if put at the peak of the ceiling, would be OK visually IMO. I looked at the CBT-70 Which are 24" tall but I believe I would absolutely need two of them. And that would be just the lower portions as well. The reason I am looking at the column/Line array type is that A: I have been getting complaints of volumes too loud B: I can't hear C: I can't understand D: They say they have extremely high intelligibility E: and not least, because years ago, I had a couple of EV line arrays, that were simply a 6:sqx48" long cabinet with 6- 3x5 speakers rated for 20W probably. I had them at a fairly low volume, and the wave of sound was all encompassing, and even though someone shouted at me from behind about 15ft, I could hardly hear him. But I could hear every detail of the music (Symphonic). So I have already been somewhat impressed favorably with the line array type of speaker. [/QUOTE]
