: Stereophiles and Musicians.............. Deep South Cruisers 05-02-2003, 08:30 AM IF I wanted to build a killer stereo, why not skip the cookie cutter head units available and just use a powered board and P.A. speakers. I realize that I would lose Dolby and Multi channel soundtracks but other than that, are their any drawbacks:confused: Priest 05-02-2003, 08:34 AM Great for volume bad for imaging Welby 05-02-2003, 08:35 AM I would think it would be loud, but sound like shit Deep South Cruisers 05-02-2003, 08:39 AM Originally posted by Welby I would think it would be loud, but sound like shit EXACTLY;) my dad was a musician and I had all his junk setup in my room when I was a kid, 6 channel powered amp, monitors, sub. It rocked!!!! and I could play guitar through it on another channel. Somebody I work with was asking me about it and I really couldn't think of any drawbacks.

If you're looking for awesome sound you'll want a good SACD or MDVD player. You get true 5.1-7.1 digital sound with clear separation. Deep South Cruisers 05-02-2003, 08:43 AM Imaging is not really a issue here, just 2 channel audio. looking at a Mackie board with eq and a Samson servo power amp:) Bobzooki 05-02-2003, 08:44 AM Originally posted by Deep South Cruisers P.A. speakers. Can you say... Lo-Fi? :barf: Deep South Cruisers 05-02-2003, 08:47 AM Puleeeaze, have you seen any of the current systems:confused: this aint Woodstock;) HighToy 05-02-2003, 08:48 AM Originally posted by Deep South Cruisers Imaging is not really a issue here, just 2 channel audio. looking at a Mackie board with eq and a Samson servo power amp:) You don't want advice from an audiophile then... you want advice from the highschool student who sets up the sound equipment for the rally's.:flipoff2: Deep South Cruisers 05-02-2003, 08:53 AM Originally posted by HighToy You don't want advice from an audiophile then... you want advice from the highschool student who sets up the sound equipment for the rally's.:flipoff2: you're right, anybody that buys gold interconnect cables at $50.00 a foot should not respond to this thread:flipoff2: HighToy 05-02-2003, 08:55 AM These are the guys that just revamped Arco Arenas entire sound system. If you want to be the big sh*t on the block get these... http://www.meyersound.com/products/mseries/milo/index.htm main page: http://www.meyersound.com The main systems cost you about 6 figures though. :flipoff2: Edit*You can buy them individually I found. You would have to call on pricing though. http://www.meyersound.com/products/mseries/m1d/elements/image_01.jpg 23"x7" Deep South Cruisers 05-02-2003, 09:11 AM The system my friend is looking at would run $400-$500 for the board and amp, which is comparable to most residential Dolby head units and allow alot more flexibilty. the specs on THD and freq. response are better than most home units, so if he could find a speaker with something a little less harsh than horns, the sound quality would be comparable. | |
