[QUOTE="Gene Hardage, post: 64769, member: 185"] Re: tall skinny speakers [COLOR=#222222][FONT=Times] I'm going to pontificate on this point for a moment and look forward to other opinions about this. Because the throw on these small column types is so wide (nearly 180) they don't have that frontal blast of a normal type box. They all seem to produce an airy omnipresent type sound that can be unusual at first when you're used to singing through boxes that "throw" the sound forward. As a singer it takes a little getting used to because the typical sound pressure sensation from a typical top box is just not the same yet it's still enough to keep up with a loud 3 pc SRVish slam-a-thon*. As a result - the same venues that would approach the band regarding volume issues have yet to mention anything about volume. People that sit up close are not wincing in pain** and people in the back are able to hear clearly as well. *with the new Faital 18" subs I was able to bring the bass and drums up enough to match the guitar level of a friend that uses 2 x 50 watt amps with lots of crunchy pedals and yes the vocals were still on top of everything. **I'm talking about my band at the last 2 or 3 shows - at the SRVish slam-a-thon that I was mixing it was a little like that Maxell tape add but they all stayed and enjoyed it and a few even mentioned the "sound". Another point worth mentioning is the amazing "hi-fi" effect they have when used for DJ stuff - it's not just a little bit noticeable - they're jaw dropping when you crank them up. So does anyone else out there have much experience with any of the new breed of tall skinny speakers above and beyond the Bose? [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
