I cannot believe I never went and got some "runner" for those wires.
I have played with and tested the centre cluster option and it reduces the power alley but it is a trade off for ease of setup and sight lines. That stage is 16 inches high. Most of my shows are not overly loud so this works.
I know lots of folks poo-poo composite cabinets but the Impulse 1015's do a nice job for me and as an older guy doing shows alone, they are a good solution. The high end seems to need a little boost which shows up when I measure the room (nearly always the same venue for me) in the parametric adjustments as shown in the attached image.That being said, I am interested in the RBN products when and if they surface.
The EU subs I like for the same reason. I can handle them and they can handle the kinds of shows I do. I always use the IPR DSP presents and run a filter at 45 hz and apply a filter to every channel on the mixing board.
I have had quite a few well accomplished acts come through my little venue and they have been more than satisfied, often offering to serve as references for me as I try and draw in other performers who may be reluctant to come to a small, rural venue.
Is this the ultimate set up. Well I think I would like to try some more esoteric products but I'm not sure it would make much of a difference to the audience. I am not attracted to some of the popular 3 letter named products regardless of their popularity.
I have also attached a measurement curve for the EU monitors. Performers love them. Enough said.
Thanks for your comments by the way.

The measurements look about like what I get for my "Sp2X" speakers I have. I'll have to dig and see if I can find a Smaart Measurement of them but a dip at / around 2k and 5k seems normal for the 22 driver in most boxes I've looked at although maybe not that much. I also seem to get a peak around 13k or so but it doesn't show up here.
http://www.manualslib.com/manual/121317 ... e=2#manual Having gone through sp2, sp2a , sp2ti , sp2xt , sp2g and sp2x I've got a few miles on the 22 driver. Where do you place the measurement microphone in relation to the speaker?
I do know the Sp2X speakers I use have an EQ switch in back that drops the 1.5 to 6 k or so range in one of its settings. I'll have to look but I believe your 1015's do as well. Any chance this is turned on or maybe the switch is bad? I'd measure them with the switch on/off and see if there is a difference. If they don't have that switch then disregard
as I had an old guy brain fart. The 1015 is a great speaker and is loaded with solid components. I'd be happy to use a rig like this in any club I may go through.
Keep the pictures coming!
