Well, some of the best PA sound I have ever heard was from a Community Light and Sound System from long ago:
That's not me, but the owner of a club in downtown Vancouver in the late 80's. That's the famous M4 midrange on a giant mid horn. The clarity and punch was simply amazing. When the system was juiced, a snare hit would make your eyes involuntarily blink and the kick drum would sound concussive in your chest with those front horn loaded boxer bins. Crystal clear with no distortion.
While I have heard some very nice sound from Synergy's and Meyer's Sound, I am not trying to be too nostalgic, but I really do miss a system like this that put driver sensitivity and directivity high on it's list for design. Mind you, it was a big club and these were loud and clean with that crack and punch in which you knew you were in for a good time. Definitely more of a long throw system...
@andreasmaaan what is the size of venues you are targeting? What kind of music?
Cheers!
