Good day everyone,
Thanks very much for having this forum, much like many other very useful forms out on the Internet, it's great when you can find a specialized bunch of folks who know what they're talking about.
Briefly, what brought me here was several Google hits and then the last 45 minutes of reading about the church organ enhancement project.
I have become attached to a church that has some well-intentioned musicians, but also owns a very exceptional digital keyboard that no one is using at present.
Between that keyboard, and some good Organ recordings, I'd like to offer them some assistance in adding to the services. They do have a half decent sound system, but it has no low-end.
My own personal experience is likely 20 years out of date, and I'm having to recall much as I read through this stuff.
I used to use Cerwin Vega stuff, almost exclusively, as I was always just very pleased with the efficiency and the response.
I have been offered a pair of older CV 189E 8ohm speakers, for a reasonable price. I can take one or both of them, and I'm not sure if I need both or not. It's not the world's biggest church, more of a modern building.
I realize there's a lot more to do , In determining type of cabinet, enclosure, porting or not, as I understand from other readings that these earthquake speakers originally were in unported cabinets.
I guess what I'm asking is, does this sound like a good place to start? Even if I have to end up adding more in the way of middle low-end to their overall system. They do have a fair amount of available space under the platforms at the front of the church, where I'm guessing I could build some fairly large enclosures.
Thank you in advance, Andrew
