Re: Seeking to upgrade from a B rig to an A rig

Why is a "passive" rig so much harder or require more people.  At least enough to be considered.

I am a bit old fashioned and like amp racks much better.  if an amp goes out-I can swap it out during the show.  With a powered system that becomes much harder and the speaker is out for the show.

Extra amps can "live" in the amp racks.  Extra amps for powered boxes typically live in cardboard boxes waiting to be crushed.

People often use the excuse of not having to run heavy speaker cables-but yet they don't think twice about running heavy power cables.  And the difference is ?

Yes there are advantages and disadvantages to each type-but I like to be able to swap gear around easily-while I am on the ground
