Hmmm... course its a bit harder to put a number on this then on a viable action
ratio me thinks. I would guess anything above 200 seats is pushing what a C is
best at. By the time you are seating 1000...well its no contest. This is a bit
subjective subject matter to be sure. Still, C's shine as chamber instruments. In
fact given the right room I'm not so sure I dont prefer a C to a D.
