Hey Folks,
I work at very new venue. Originally, we purchased 5 Clay Paky Alpha Spot 800 ST and 12 Mac Auras. The MAC Auras are workhorses and have great output for our purposes. However, we've had a lot of problems with the Alpha Spots. Problems include: lamping off during use, fan errors, intermittent pan/tilt control, returning to the same focus twice and, as of late, a brand new lamps exploding (Phillips MSR Platinum) with only 20 hours on 'em.
I'm starting my search for new moving heads pronto.
I'm looking at:
MAC Viper Performance
MAC 350 Entour LED
High End Intellaspots
Here's what we need:
Quiet units for a very sensitive acoustic room
120V service, Framing shutters, iris, tight focus, nice clean whites, punchy and lots of gobos.
Any recommendations from all of you pros out there?
