Soundsystem;I run a tidy little Peavey rig, anyone who turns their noses up at Peavey gear, you gotta hear it! great tight sound at a nice price, plus it stands up to a hammering! I'm currently running 2x Hisys2's on the top and 2x Hisys115's underneath. driving them are 2x PV2600 amps so i'm working at about 3 or 4K, which is plenty for the places I use it in. Processor wise i use 2x 31-band 1/3 octave EQ's to make the room sound lovely, Samson comressor / limiters, a basic 2-way crossover and the magic Kosmos which is the secret weapon to my rig. anyone who hasn't heard the Kosmos in action should check one out, great for soundsystems but also a brilliant tool in the studio!
