I really want something that can rock your socks with a band and still be gentle enough for theatrical shows
I want an analog board. They are easier to work with in the spaces.
I want a portable sound system that can be used when I am hired as the sound company. There are theatres in my area from 200 seats to 1000 seats. It should be strong to fill the 1000 seat theatre with near perfect acoustics (it is amazing). and still be able to fit discretely into a 200 seat theatre. I want to be able to meet the wants of most clients but be realistic.

How many wireless mics can you use in 1 space
Budget: ~25000
Okay, a portable system, that helps. Are you planning on potentially addressing power distro and trussing? Are you envisioning the speakers being ground stacked, flown, on sticks? Are you planning on providing monitors and would they be a separate mix? Do any of the theatres have balconies or any other special considerations?
Sorry, but a pet peeve here. Near perfect acoustics for what? What is a desirable acoustic environment for choral or orchestral performances may be a poor environment for speech and rock, and vice versa.
Easier in what sense? With onboard effects and typically a smaller footprint than an equivalent analog console I believe that digital consoles would be very common for situations like the one you note.I want an analog board. They are easier to work with in the spaces.
More than your 35 inputs if you so desire. However, it will likely be a more a matter of how many you realistically think you can afford within your budget and that number will probably be quite low.How many wireless mics can you use in 1 space
I just had a 600 seat college concert hall bid last week and the FOH system (with splits for monitors but no monitor console or speakers) was over $350,000, recording was another $100,000+. That did include some electrical and rigging work and may be on a different level than you are envisioning, but while dollars per seat is a really bad way to estimate cost, even most 1,000 seat contemporary churches would typically spend two to four times your budget. To stay within your budget is probably going to take really defining what matters most and maybe planning for cross-renting or other options for larger events.Budget: ~25000
On the realistic side, your $25,000 budget will certainly be one factor. As mixmaster noted, you will probably have to invest a good portion of your budget in cables, snakes, cases, power distro, gaff tape, mic and speaker stands, DI boxes, adapters and all the other small items involved. Depending on your approach and what you may already have, you may also require tools for system setup and tuning, possibly everything from a soldering iron to sound analysis tools.I want to be able to meet the wants of most clients but be realistic.

Maybe I'm breaking the flow of conversation but here is my envisionment
40 Channel Mixer
2 31 band stereo graphic eq
CD/Tape Deck
Compressor
10 wireless mics (handheld/headsets)
15 handheld mics (PG58 style)(used for everything from vocals to some instruments)
6 piece drum kit
2-3 direct boxes
4 condenser choir mics
4 powered speakers
2 monitors
snake
I probably just contradicted a previous post but i rethought it so i would like to see some good equipment names. I know most of the stuff i just want to know what you all think are good mixers, mics, etc. for the price I can afford if I have to sacrifice anything it will be wireless mics.
i did not say that i wanted to meet a rider. I said that I wanted to meet the needs of my clients which will be everything from small rock bands, church meetings (mens retreat), I do several gospel singings each year and meet things such as battle of the bands, large variety shows, etc. I pretty much can tell them what they get and what they don't. I just want to be able to do the sound with good quality and be able to accomodate some of these groups
