[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 6121, member: 24"] A room that I was in has a pair of EAW VR51 installed. The coverage and level seem appropriate to the room. They are powered by an appropriate sized amp. With use, they change tonally, from medium bad to downright crap. Unless there is a flaw in the speakers themselves, the only visible questionable thing about the system is that the original speaker cable installed looks to be 18 gauge with the longer run being about 100 feet. The shorter run which is the side that actually sounds worse has had the speaker cable replaced with a piece of 20 gauge wire of the same type the mic feeds from the stage are wired. I did not notice any problems in checking with voice only or background music levels but over the course of the first show (bluegrass ) the sound got thinner and thinner until the one side had no low mids to speak of. Is it a damping problem or is there something buried deeper I haven't found? [/QUOTE]
