"We installed six WideLines per side, ground stacking them in an arc with a single sub per side," reported Set Music's president Aldo Contini. "There was no EQ, other than perhaps a touch to compensate for the room's mid-bass resonance. The sound was absolutely smooth and homogenous all the way up to the seventh level gallery."
Contini continues: "These grand old opera halls were designed for pure acoustics, and they are very reflective. Sometimes it can be a challenge to add amplified sound to them, because it can be almost too 'live.' Well, at the end of the show, one of the organizers of the show came down from the third level boxes and hugged me! He told me the sound was so good, it had been many years since he'd felt this level of emotion at a performance. I have been working in this theatre for years, and have heard so many different sound systems in here, but this has been a revelation. Never have I heard a system sound this good in this hall."
