[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 57442, member: 30"] Re: Restaurant audio System The FIRST question is why is he insisting on stereo? Trying to position speakers so you "get stereo" in all the seats is not so easy. LONG before you start to suggest the number of speakers- you have to determine WHERE you can put loudspeakers and what the coverage area is. This involves the particular height you have available. You many need more or less than your "20". What does he like about your system at home? its loudness? The bass response? The clarity? or something else. Translating a home setup to a larger space is not always easy. Especially in the price range you are at. The first step is designing any sound system is "What am i trying to accomplish with this system?" There are all sorts of different answers that would require different approaches to the system design. And the word DESIGN-is the real key here. NOT hooking up speakers to an amp. That is the easy part. The hard part is trying to determine exactly what the customer wants-and how to fit it in his budget (if possible). You can choose the best possible speakers-then install them improperly (ie not planning on interference issues) or not set them up properly and they will not sound any better than the really cheap stuff. It is not always the tool-but how it is used that really makes the difference. A friend of mine says "It's not the arrow-it's the Indian". [/QUOTE]
