In the mid 70s I frequented a bar in Augusta Georgia called the Georgia Moon. It was U shaped. One one side of the U, records were played. The speakers were hidden behind a screen on which various psychedelic images were projected. The speakers were driven by a pair of tubed McIntosh amplifiers. I was told the speakers were Klipshorns. I don't remember the rest of the gear. I do remember spending many hours listening to all kinds of music. The DJ did not take requests but the sound and the music selection was fabulous.
I recently read about a bar/restaurant in London called Spiritland. It has a high end custom built audio system. I have not heard it but want to. They have guest DJs and and music events. It's sounds like a great place.
I currently live and work outside of the US. I plan on retiring soon and will be moving back to the states. I have been toying with the idea of opening a similar place when I return. Two questions:
1. Do you believe people would come to hear great music and eat good food?
2. What equipment would you recommend?
Thoughts would be welcomed.
