I like the ESP site too. Even more now that I read that.

Pretty sure I posted about this back at the old site but... the worst, I mean absolute worst system I ever heard was a pair of huge line arrays with a gazillion watts of power in a performance venue we helped remodel. The worst part, it started life as a 360 degree multi-purpose venue with a huge and beautiful Altec cluster in the center. When we finally got to the point that the new sound system was installed I could not believe how bad it was. They pulled a system that sounded way better in crappy space than their new system did in a good space. And the installers were the best part, they strutted around like a bunch of proud peacocks listening to their creation. I swear they were all tone deaf and I wasn’t the only one. There were quite a few salty old stage hands working on the rigging at the time and I had a few good laughs with them discussing the merits of the new house system.
