right on, unc..all that jive about smaller groups not sounding "full" enough..is just that, jive. good playing always carries the day. i ran into a folksinger I know who is pretty good, and he set up for his acoustic solo sets with a monster pa head, 2 giant 15" speakers about 20 ft apart on tall stands about 8 ft high..all in a small space.
i don't know what these cats are thinking..why sound like
a dj? I'd have used one 8 or 10 in spkr at shoulder height,
right next to me, and it would sound like what it looks like..a solo acoustic performer w/ volume boost...
