Sound Reinforcement
Philosophy:
Sound reinforcement should not be noticed by the audience. The sound should always appear to originate from it's source. The sound should not be altered to where it is noticeably different coming from the speakers.
Equipment, speaker placement, and tonal balance can acheive these goals. Also acoustic knowledge and experience in concert halls can make a difference.

two 8" driver/tweeter speakers (can be used as monitors)
