[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 121970, member: 30"] Re: Speaker on Stick build with large budget And what does "louder" actually mean? Measured loudness (SPL) or "sounds louder" (distortion)? Does it matter if it has a flat even response or what if the "loudness" is a nasty peak that gives you that "ice pick in the forehead" type of sound? Different people look for different things. I would assume "loudest" is the maximum of how loud it "could" get if powered properly. The advantage to having a box that is capable of high output (assuming it is clean) is that when you go to the larger events it can handle it. Of course having a box with a higher sensitivity means you can get louder for a given amount of wall power. Sometimes that is more important. On smaller events it will be loafing along and the distortion will be less-which is a good thing-generally. Some people REALLY DO like distortion and they don't care for cabinets that do not distort. Oh well--------------------- As with anything-you have to DEFINE the target and what is important to you (the OP) if you want to get usable results from a forum. Otherwise you get results that are valid to one person but completely invalid to others. [/QUOTE]
