Using Naim gear in a nightclub

Posted by: ngarritson on 22 September 2014

There were some clubs back in the day like Paradise Garage and Ministry of Sound that were all about the music.  Bar, stereo, top DJ talent and that's basically it.  It was a simple recipe and people had an amazing time.  The music was the cure.  I've been wondering if there's another step to that formula.  The idea I've been toying with is to have a small club in a very simple space with a straightforward bar and a top of the line Naim system.  It would be the best music, and the music would sound the best it possibly could.  No frills.  Just the music.  Hardly anybody has heard music sound that good in their lives.  I just think people would gravitate to a musical experience that's as good as any drug they're on.  

 

Any and all feedback about setup considerations, equipment recommendations, etc. would be great.

An enhanced version of Classic Album Sundays if you like. I think Linn were at Camp Bestival doing something like this. 

 

How this would work in a club situation - acoustics, sound re-inforcement in different areas, quiet areas (whilst still maintaining clarity) and whether you have enough power to really drive an area properly - remains to be seen....
