Led Zeppelin, the Who, Rush, et.al.

Agree with Virgil Fox.

Now, you have Cameron Carpenter and his Marshall & Ogletree Touring Organ

One could throw a PRO-35 at you if you say "Apogee" again. [Smile]

Really, the "better" were the SuperSimplex and the E7 since they did project a steady picture with that old flat trap and gate assembly.

But, they required a dedicated projectionist to take care of these old units.

Now, Kinoton and Ernemanns could be even better than the Simplex and Century..

Can't say anything better about the digital units ,esp SONY.

DLP light engines are a hardy unit, but they themselves can have issues when they want to.

Really there is no such thing as "best" when it comes to personal opinion but seen the majority of installs are using DLP units, with QSC amplifiers and speakers.

All equipment / technologies performs at its best for what it is designed for. Just that different manufacturer's may have different approaches on how they deliver that technology.

The Warp drive still hasn't been invented, has it? If not, I vote for the Heisenberg Compensator.

Virgil Fox turned many people on to classical organ music with his Rodgers electronic touring organ.

Andy Crow did much the same with the Rodgers organ, here in the Northwest. His style was mostly standards and show tunes though. I never heard him play anything classical.

Perhaps, but some brands performed those tasks better than others, which seems to be what the OP's intent.

When considering one brand of equipment against another, there is no lack of opinion on this forum.

In that sense, perhaps it would have been better for the OP to take a week or three, perusing the topics already posted, rather than entertain us with a teaser subject that has no chance of not being hijacked!

Well. The best technological invention in the history of the world is insulated wire. About 95% of life today would be impossible without it.
