Re: [Harp-L] PA systems

[Seth Galitzer <sethgali@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have to admit, I have not been following this thread closely, so my 
apologies if this has already been said.  My band used to use a Yamaha 
mixer amp, 12-channel console type.  This served us well and was a nice 
compact package.  Over the years, we added various mains and monitor 
speaker cabs.  After a while, we got to where we need more flexibility 
in the monitors and more power in the mains.  Our sound guy went and 
ordered a complete PA system direct from Carvin (http://www.carvin.com). 
 It included a console mixer with 18 channels and four monitor outputs, 
three amps, a pair of nice mains , and a handful of mics and cables.  I 
don't know how much he paid, but he said it was much less buying it 
complete direct from the manufacturer than buying the individual 
(quality) components from a place like Musician's Friend/Guitar Center. 
 He said they also had great customer service when he placed his order 
over the phone.  The new rig is amazing: great sound, excellent 
construction, tons of headroom in power, easy to use.  It is bigger than 
the old setup, but it should keep us going for a long time.
