Hi,
I've been a long time lurker from back on the old site, but I never had a reason to post (until now).
I work for a theatre company that wants to buy new speakers. We have money for this, but were thinking that by buying used we would be able to take a big step up in quality. We demo'ed Meyer UPM-1P and UPJ-1P speakers and, although there were many qualities we liked about them, we thought the high-end was a little harsh. Our impressions of these were at 95dBA/98dBC measured at 3 feet, so we should be far away from the limiters.
I have heard Meyer in a number of other venues and never wanted to take a step away from the speakers like I felt this time. Has anybody else noticed this? For the record, this was just the speakers; there was no external processing. We do not have high-volume requirements. Most of the time, the rig will be in the upper 80s and low 90s reproducing just voice, but we have always had trouble with intelligibility.

(Pardon me if this better fits JV, I assumed varsity would be more appropriate seeing the brand and semi-pro status of the theatre.)
