Well, sound aside, you did rock it, and they sound great, nice and deep as they should.....the 3 ply shells really kick like cannons, I love it!
See if you can find a powered 16 or 32 channel board from the 70s, a Yamaha. We ran one for almost all of of our gigs and were able to work magic with that hard working little board. It was a full on recording station, 300 watts on the 16 and 500 on the 32. No sound geek needed, unless it was someone you trust, and it could be run almost anywhere. No separate amp/board system needed, except of course for the git-fiddles and bass thumpers, but it all ran through the board so monitors could be used.
Man, that was one nice set up, 4 "Voice of the Theater" speakers, the board, Leslie's for the B-3...talk about a great sound system on the cheap and it really would rock.
Simplicity I tell ya, too easy to run. You could set the board on stage and, since the monitors were right there, a quick walk around the stage and floor, you could set it all up right from there and not worry about some dick messing with the EQ on your drums or a guitar player turning up his noise too loud! My favorite trick? Turn up his monitor so he thought he was really getting over on everyone, and since I had the master volume and all the channel volume controls, I could really phuck with the guitar player....
