    Re: Altec A

    Thanks OG I try to never clip my amps I always go to a gig in overkill for sound reinforcement for that very reason I would rather be in a position having to turn it down then to push my equipment and compromise sound quality .

    With those Danleys, i'd be tempted to push the A6's right to their limits. I would be running DSP management and have a steep low pass filter on my HF at 15-16khz.

    i'm thinking he will be much further along than most rigs I've seen lately..most folks are running subs and satellites these days. it seems as if no one cares about mids anymore.

    It's all about the lower back. After moving that rig around a couple years, the OP will understand.

    I have a truck with a tommy lift gate so size doesn't matter as much I'm also considering getting a pair of Danley SH50's and keep the A6's for playback at my house. I also have these Klipsch speakers for larger outdoor events I keep them in my garage .IMG_0892.jpg

    ROTFL you should have seen some of the rigs I moved. We did 30-40k people outdoors on a regular basis. I was glad when I got rid of the 8 Shearer horns. And those were the lows. Then 32 mid bass single 15 and 8 1003 with dual 290E. And a gazillion peizos.
    Your neighbors called. They like your music.

    I think the 4520 double scoops are what really ruined me. Those things are just way heavier than they look like they should be. Set-up wasn't so bad, you'd be fresh and they were the first things off the truck and into the venue. Tear down was a different story as it seems like the heaviest stuff was the last stuff you handled at the end of the night. Even though we only ran 4 double scoops, we did a couple regular gigs in 2nd floor venues with no elevators. By the time we'd get the fourth one back down to ground level, i don't think i could have carried a 5th.

    I also have these Klipsch speakers for larger outdoor events I keep them in my garage .
    Is that a Jubilee in the center? .......... and Peavey MB-2's?

    The Peavey MB-2 is a perfect match for the Klipsch MWM bass bins and the JBL 2360A horn is still a great horn the crossover points on the system are 350Hz & 1100Hz I'm using a Ashly Protea 3.6SP and also have a Driverack PA but lean towards the Ashly. The center channel is a modified TSCM here is a updated photo of one of them after walnut trim was added.IMAG0487.jpg
