Residential speakers for acoustic concert?

I have a pair of Tannoy Mallorcans and a Crown CE1000 amp. Would these speakers work well if I used them for an Acoustic concert (Two mic setup, guitar and vocals)?

If you don't know these speakers look at them like large residential speakers (12" Woofer). Also does anyone have any idea what the wattage might be?

Hiss from live concert halls

I'm wondering if there is any way to eliminate the high-freq hiss that is picked up when recording in live concert halls. There may be no way considering my set-up: 2 dynamic cardiod mics placed X stereo running into a Boss Br-864 (portable digital 8track recorder). I currently use the "hiss reduction" function in Adobe Audition to eliminate most of it...

Edits to a concert recording

I've got something coming up where we will record a concert (string quartet) and then they want to do a session in the same venue immediately afterward to get alternate takes for any problem areas. Recording location is a church, but not one I have been in before so no knowledge of the details yet. (The recording is in early February, so I have time to check it out.)

Recording HS Marching/Concert Band

My daughter volunteered me to record the local HS marching band. (She's drum major.) They were only looking for a CD to practice marching to, so it was a rush job. I recorded them in their practice room which has surprisingly good acoustics. (At least I was surprised.) Never done this kind of thing before, and I don't have the worlds greatest equipment for it.

A recording of a Mozart violin concerto

Greetings,

I spent the last couple of days finishing this recording of the first movement of Mozart's A-major violin concerto, No. 5 - the Allegro aperto movement. It's been recorded under not very ideal acoustic surroundings, so I added a bit of artificial reverb and EQed it slightly overall to a degree I found acceptable.

Removing Reverb from Concert Recording

I need some advice on how to get rid of the reverberation from a recording of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons that I made in a large stone church last month. The concert producers had a narrator read the sonnets associated with the concerti while a violinist standing behind the narrator played snippets of the solo part.

Unusual Set-up for Bach Cantata Concert

A few weeks ago, I wrote about Bach cantata concerts where the choir stands in front of the orchestra, completely blocking the instrumentalists from sight and sound. Using my limited and budget-priced microphone collection, I decided to supplement the main pair by sneaking a pair of microphones in front of the conductor’s music stand – an unusual set-up but no one objected.
