I have considered all of those factors, but the trouble is this, the room is shared, my youth leader is very cheap.
I'd love to get some flyable speakers, but I don't think I could sell both pairs of mackies and make out with decent flying speakers. A friend of mine and I were thinking of building boxes to put the pole speakers(or the floor mackies on and use those instead since they are actually
three way, but has a blown mid range
in one of them which is why they are pretend subs. previous owners, don't ask....). This room used to be a bar and had at least 15-20 24" sized
crt tv's hanging from the /\ shaped ceiling, so I know it's strong enough.
I'm working with a church that a couple years ago almost closed it's doors due to financial imbalance, otherwise that room would have a much better
system, but the fact is that that room is used by people who don't know a screw
driver from a hole in the floor, so it wouldn't be economical at this time. I've been trying for years to work full time there, but it's not feasible for some reason.
The
stage is set in the corner because the room is setup as a banquet room of some sort. The booth is angled straight on which hurts alot.
