Two things...
Analog sound by itself can be rather sterile sounding...and in a living
room very dry....not attractive. Good reverb can do wonders for it. The
early spring reverb units are primitive and not acceptable by today's
standards. Recently we put a Lexicon MX-400 ($299) with its own 2.1 audio
system ($299) on a 925 in a residence and it sounded like a million bucks.
We also put the MX-400 on a 945 (digital) in a church and fed the output
back into the 8-channel main audio and the delay output into the 2-channel
antiphonal audio system (the same reverb architecture as a new Rodgers).
This took some wiring engineering to accomplish....but it's not brain
surgery.
The MX-400 has dozens of reverb profiles, but then can be "fine tuned"
endlessly and custom-designed profiles saved.
Regarding moving the 760 console....it is about the same size as a 3-manual
940, which will go through standard-size single entry doors. The trick is
to put the console on it's side, which enables negotiating narrower
doorways. On its side the console is also better balanced and much easier
to handle. Two mover guys can accomplish these maneuvers easily. FYI--we
put a 3-manual Infinity console in the basement of a residence that
required taking it down the inside stairwell that had a landing halfway
down with a 180 turn, then down a hallway and through an interior door.
The movers got it in!
"We" do this stuff all the time--it's really easy....I just watch!
