We're moving forward with our reno project and it's time to address the house mains, or lack thereof. I have a pretty good idea what I'd like, but I wanted to see what people are using or in some cases, still not using. I've heard some horror stories about what to stay away from. Any thoughts?
In our case, the hall is going to be about 80' long and 40' wide, speakers will have to be surface mounted above the proscenium 21' off the floor (18' off the deck) and about 10' from the first row. I'm hoping to buy 4 of the QSC K8.2 powered speakers to mount on the proscenium which I think would be more than enough for our shows. I'd like a mini line array but that's not going to happen. I'm not 100% sold on the QSCs but I've heard them and I think I'd be comfortable. My only concern is that they're powered, so if something goes, it's the whole unit, not just a speaker or an amp, but it's the way things are done now.
Before I order, is there anything anyone's fallen in love with that they want to share? Talk me out of my insanity?
