[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 115916, member: 30"] Re: tall skinny speakers I find it truly AMAZING how many BAD sound system installs there are out there. Apparently anybody who can hook up gear and make sound come out is considered "an expert". And even worse is that these guys get PAID. Apparently somebody said "This is good-here is a check". For example at my kids high school (which was @22Million when it was built over 10 years ago-they have long since graduated) in the cafeteria the announcement system is so bad-you cannot understand even what language is being spoken YES IT IS THAT BAD!!!!!!!!!! My kids say it was that way since the first day it opened. But the contractor got paid and they still "try" to use the system-even though nobody can understand it. And even worse is when perfectly good systems are pulled out because somebody wants a "new line array" and the new system is much worse than the old one. And nobody is held accountable. WHY NOT? We just spent a pile of money and it is WORSE! And yet the old system were actually "showcases" and "model rooms" that people were brought to as an example of a sound system done right. :(. Yes it has happened a couple of times on jobs that I have been associated with. [/QUOTE]
