Whats your idea kit, not if moneys no object but if you say had £2000 to spend on lights and about the same for sound?

I would have to go for everything DMX...

what you think?

If you have 4 grand to spend use the bulk of it for your sound. Without good reliable sound you might as well give up now. Good equipment such as qsc audio amp and decent speakers properly matched will last you eons. Likewise you need a decent cd player that will reliably play cdr's as well as shop bought cd's incase you need to back up some old vynil or your existing cd's. Lighting wise I have found abstract to be the most relable to date. I have never had anyone complain about my lighting before. All the comments are on how good the music was!
