Russ, I was kind of referring to the Glenn Miller Orch. back when Glenn Miller WAS playing with them. Just a kind of comment on why anyone would WANT to use 4,500 watts on an acoustic big band... Glen played venues at least as big in his heyday, and somehow managed without a wall of PA, whether mono OR stereo!

I guess people nowadays just aren't prepared to shut up and listen to a performance until it is so loud they have no choice...
