The problem you have is more likely to be the speakers.They are ok for 'vocal frequencies' but cant handle the frequencies produced by 'music'.........its kind of like playing your cd's down the old 'cup and string' setup...........all you would hear is the 'top end', no middle or bass as the 'string' cant pick up on them. Our speakers look like they have 'Piezo' (sp) horn's only which most definatley be unable to handle anything below 'treble' with any real efficiancy. To upgrade them would cost an absolute fortune.............I will,however pop up and see Rob/Don/Marcelle this week when I collect my season ticket to see if I can be of help................just dont shoot the messenger tho guys!! |
I am impressed by this posting Cowboy !!...Succinct, if a bit baffling (no Pun intended!)....
I have a theory that persuades me that the positioning of the Speakers (and their Pizza ,,,ooops 'Piezo'(sp) Horns, just under the edge of the roof forces the sound into what must be an environment which not only amplifies the sounds..( Both Vocal and Music !)..but also increases the reverberation levels emanating from these sub-standard speakers, which as you point out, are probably not the type which would prove ideal for the task!.
The resultant sounds appear to be bouncing and echoing around at an alarming rate, which results in a degree of distortion which my ears find difficult to resolve !!.
If you have the ear of those who might improve this element of the entertainment at 'The Crown',,,then do whisper our concerns into it..!!.
However, I do agree with you that the cost of improving the situation would be somewhat prohibitive...and with the Club's more pressing outgoings in mind....I for one will continue to tolerate these shortcomings!!!...
Which, as Alfred.E. quite correctly points out, makes this posting totally redundant !!!!.......SORRY !.
'ON, STANLEY !....ON!!!'
