There is a technology available now where the hall is carefully measured, a computer designed set of speakers and micorphones installed and computer controlled eq and amplification control system installed that completely eleminates areas of harshness, standing waves, weak areas and dead spots. This system is not cheap but I have heard that it works wonderfully. This is not an amplification system but an acustical correction system that once installed and calibrated it needs no further human intervantion except to turn it on and off. The archetect of our concert hall had his intelligence up his disposition and we have been suffering and spending ever since. There are some very nice sweet spots that help solo piano lots except few players like to sit that far forward of the stage. Newton nhunt@rci.rutgers.edu
