I have a high efficiency 18" sub we could use for the bottom octave. Maybe set up the chairs facing away from the speakers and play pipe organ music. I never understood why we face the speakers when listening to organ music. They're always in the back of the church.

I haven't heard many pipe organs in person, but they have all been at the front of the hall. Including at the Kennedy Center. |

Some are in the front, some are in the back and some have ranks in multiple places. |

Mono system would make setup and transport easier too! |

A really good mono system might be a eye opener and conversation starter for attendees. |

As well as vinyl, perhaps we could play some 78's. ray |

I've not seen one at the front of a church/venue. Didn't know there was one at the Kennedy Center. (Insert dope slap emoji) I also have a 50s era corner cabinet. Think It's about 8 cu ft. It's got a coax in it now, but we could swap out a more appropriate woofer (or disconnect the CD) and I'm sure someone has an Altec horn/driver selection that could sit on top. (?) No console though. That would be the best.

I have a fair number of mono LPs but no real mono setup. I do know that listening to mono LP with one monoblock turned off is still enjoyable. You sort of listen in a different way and my attention just seems to focus more on dynamic contrasts and tone as opposed to wondering around the sound stage. I will have up a mono TT setup in the not too distant future and I always look out for mono Jazz LPs! I think a mono setup at CAF would be a lot of fun and would probably blow lots of minds too. |
