Re: The Duc d'OrleansII

:wink: Thanks, all. I should have arranged the paragraph a bit differently. I should have said that I want to do a better job, sound wise. As for the volume that I reported, my intent was to share how loud it was, even being A-weighted! Yes, I used and exclamation point. :wink: I was surprised, most...

How many watts was the rig using...5?....10? :)
Did you happen any nulls in the bass region? I'm asking because it appears that the pairs of T48s are only 20(?)feet apart.
