[QUOTE="Brad Weber, post: 57482, member: 114"] Re: Restaurant audio System Sammy, not trying to pile on but taking your comments at face value you seem to be saying that quality is important to the Owner and the old system does not perform up to their expectations so the intent is to have a friend with a nice home stereo system but who has never designed or installed a system like this to simply replace the existing amp and speakers with different amps and speakers and to then expect that the result will meet their expectations. It doesn't even sound like you've identified any specific problems with the existing system or ascertained how what you propose will change that, much less done anything to assess if the results should meet their expectations. What also stands out is that you've provided so very little relevant information. You have two zones, dining and restroom, but what does that mean, do the zones need to be able to have different content, independent volume control, both or what? Are the speakers surface mounted, in-wall, recessed ceiling, pendant mount or some other physical form? Where are the speakers located, for example if they are ceiling mounted then how high is the ceiling and what is the ceiling construction? What are the dimensions of the space and its acoustics? How is the system used and what type of music is played? What are the sources and how are they mixed or switched? Again, we lack the information needed to even start to make any product recommendations but how did you come up with these budget numbers? Did you determine what you needed to do to get an acceptable result and what that would cost? Did the Owner tell you they had a certain budget they could not exceed? Or was it simply a guess? Have you checked out the existing cabling and its installation to see not only if it may be part of the problem but also if it is proper and legal and won't have to be modified or replaced? [/QUOTE]
