What are some of your opinions/policies of using existing gear? Once again I am having trouble with a quote and deciding on proposing a smaller package of better gear to supplement existing stuff or cheaper gear but a whole package. Its a set budget figure, so using some existing equipment helps.
The client is a school, its a multipurpose room. Unfortunately, not much can be salvaged, but they have four Peavey SPG1 speakers that appear to be working and sound "okay". I don't know anything about them (except they're Peavey...) and don't know what they'll do. I researched them, they can be biamped and are a 80X40 horn. They're too wide to run 2 per side as they are, but they'll likely stay that way if I keep them.
If I keep the Peavey's, I can supply subs and a GB2, DSP, dynamics, FX, powered monitors, more/superior mics/DI's/stands/cables, etc.
OR
If I take the Peavey's out, I'm down to less wireless, limited mic/DI/stand/cable pack, an LX7II, and probably a speaker system that is still not optimum.
Future sale for a better speaker system is not likely anytime soon. What do you guys do in this type of scenario?
Thanks
