Bill (Lewis) and Gary mentioned (in another post) using a really "high end" PA system to sing and play through. I'm using expensive Electro-Voice speakers but, by necessity, nothing huge that I can't carry.

I was in Sam Ash on their talent night because the manager asked me to come in and play the accordion as it would be something different from the multiple guitarists. I can still remember when he plugged me into a huge JBL cabinet...the difference in sound quality and volume and just plain "guts!" My accordion never sounded better and I felt like I just doubled my playing ability because the enhanced sound gave me more freedom of expression in my playing.

So.....my question is.......have any of you playing an arranger ever played it over a really powerhouse speaker system (I'm talking about speakers you need a crane to lift)?

I already mentioned that I'm thinking about starting working on my PA3x and when Bill mentioned you need good playing skills, better vocals, and a great PA system.....that started me thinking I've never heard what "any" arranger would sound like on a system that Yanni would use to play to 100,000 people! The kind of a system that would take a dozen UPS trucks to haul in. I'm wondering would something like that really wake up an audience at a large outdoor festival or event?
