    I was over by about 2' on my measurements. and i should add the ceiling starts out at 20' at the walls and 35' at the peak

    i used a single WE 2cf / 755E with a pyle PTau23(cigarbox sized amp) and my cellphone on the left channel as a tester. moving the speaker around the stage I lost very little sound from the front to the back. the bass, for whatever a 755Es worth, carried pretty strongly all the way to the back. there was (an expected) bump in the bass response in the alcove at the back of the stage.

    if i remember correctly. Built in the 50s they didn't use a pa to speak of, in the building till the mid 60s. and that was a couple wall boxes. the organ and piano(no amp) could get pretty loud in there.

    my gut feeling is it's not going the take a lot to shake this room. like i said GM sure wish you were here.
