I investigated many, many clubs here in Toronto when I was looking for a new home for The Ambient Ping & had my eyes opened. (I did find a club with stereo, subs and a great beer selection!) As Tim pointed out - many clubs run left to the house & right to the monitors or use up the left & right on bi-amping. True stereo also means more 32 band EQs, crossovers, house compressors etc... Be sure to record yourself upstream before you get monofied. Cheers, Scott M2 http://www.dreamSTATE.to ambientelectronicsoundscapes http://www.THEAMBiENTPiNG.com
