So who is better or am I comparing apples and oranges?
 VS  Both cost about as much as a college education, both weigh an absolute ton, and (this may be nit picking) both have GIGANTIC horns for the subwoofers. Facts and opinions please. |

for what purpose is it intended? if you plan on touring the system then IMO the choice( of those 2) is clearly FK1.
Assuming by RLA you mean richard long associates?i dont know a huge amount about them, but ive only ever seen pictures of install systems, ive never heard one either. i personally wouldnt go for either the apple or the orange... i prefer something a little pear shaped!

that is correct I do mean Richard Long & Associates. I was hoping someone who had heard both systems could weigh in on who's better, and why.
What do you mean on the Pear comment? Oh and the purpose would be I guess you could call it touring. I wheel out my speakers and play events. but I don't go like cross country. Edited by nomercy82 - 02 January 2012 at 5:36am |

Hi. The old Disco System pictured above is designed for fixed installs (clubs) and are not designed to be moved about from place to place. In addition the concept of that design is to have the room properly treated while having the loudspeaker positioned to achieve the best possible sound. The above is everything that is not going to happen if you are moving a system from venue to venue. So neither design would be best for a mobile system. Best Regards, |

The system on the picture is the old stereo system and was build by Angel Morales & SBS.
If you already know that and you just use the pic to have an example I apologize for being such a smart ass   From all the big systems & rooms (the room is a big big party of the system) I heard MOS was the best. I heard not a single Dance Stack installation I really liked. But I like the F1 sound in general so it must be the rooms, take the Berghain as an example. It is impossible to make that room sound good without (a lot) proper acoustical treatment. GSA in Zouk was ok. Really looking forward to hear District 36 and the SBS club The System.

@Mykey: never ever I would say designed
There is another good thing about the Emerald (the single Bertha) two of them are louder then a Bertha.

I already have 2 bertha's the full ones. But I may on your recomendation sell them off to someone else who wants some serious sound and build 4 singles. This Tuesday I will be measuring out some Levan extensions. Found a set at a club that I actually might buy.

So what you're both saying is that both systems are great stand alone but room acoustics differentiate them from being okay or outstanding.

Both RLA and F1 Dance Stacks are very good at having bass cancellation in the middle of the dance floor!

Heard a few stacked systems that did not have this problem.
Talked to the sound guys but they did not want to share there secret...  |
