Maybe in the states this kind of install is rare, not here though. Just look at some of these. Bridge and Tunnel ,London. Button factory, Dublin. Cream , Liverpool. Mint, Leeds. Then look at the super clubs in Ibiza, Spain. We wont even talk about Germany, Moscow, France, Italy, where do I Stop ? A club like Fabric here in London has 3 rooms for example.

There is a company called Opus from the UK . No big hype, all word of mouth. By far the best sound I have ever heard.

The electronics in this system are in none of the clubs you mentioned above which alone, makes this unique, and they are all Digital not High End Analog processing like i have in this system.

What do they have in these systems, most of them are prob Class D amplifiers?

you would impress people here (and elsewhere) more if you posted system response charts IMHO...

no one here knows anything about the "Thrive Audio" electronics you are selling either,
have you had any independent analysis charts done on the pieces?

[soundmanshorty]

here in the nyc area from england where they had a demo room, i did a event @ a nightclub in NJ, opus was in 1 room, I had a 850 TAD loaded system in the larger room, from what i recall he told me opus does not believe in a room eq, is this still your theory?

[louped garouv]

i don't know about their philosophies but they do have specs available for all their custom, made in house, gear and cabinet offerings.....


http://www.opusaudio.com/pl.html


pretty neat to see that from a company that builds all their stuff custom...

There is a company called Opus from the UK . No big hype, all word of mouth.

that saying a lot IMHO

Kudos to them!

[soundmanshorty]

you would impress people here (and elsewhere) more if you posted system response charts IMHO...

you speak for everyone on every message board ? would this be correct?

[louped garouv]

i think i may have hit a nerve... sorry about that....

So i guess you speak for everyone on every message board ? would this be correct?

that's why i ended the thought with "IMHO"

which means: "in my honest opinion"



people around here just seem to dig specs and response charts from what i've noticed... especially when someone with a high end custom fabrication & instalation business is posting...

members here are constantly being guided to obtain objective measurement tools from what i've seen posted here....

[soundmanshorty]

you would impress people here (and elsewhere) more if you posted system response charts IMHO...

hit a nerve but with comments like this you ARE speaking for everyone.

[louped garouv]

i really do not believe i am speaking for everyone...

hence the "IMHO" disclaimer added to the end...


i believe that clearly puts it into the realm of personal opinion/observation...

[richluvsound]

I think the lack of response from those with far more understanding than myself
says it all .

As far as digital is concerned - when your off head in a club at 1am the soundstage and, whether or not the signal is analog aint that high in the priority list.

BTW ,Bridge and Tunnel is all Bryston, clearaudio and function 1 Sweet as ,
but still not a scratch on the Opus rig.
Also, as with all sound - you waste a lot of time and money if you dont consider the room as important as the label.

I'm sure your rig is brilliant.

good luck, Rich
