I visited two theme parks 4th of July weekend. Found that the two theme parks took little or no interest in concealing speakers from visitors view, so I snapped photos of them.

These JBLs were installed at Legoland.
Do you hear that buzzing noise? :confused:

    JBL is probably the most widely used speaker in commercial and pro audio/PA scenarios.

    At Universal Studios Hollywood, these speakers were installed on the trams of the World Famous Backlot Tour. They installed stickers over the brand-name logo, but didn't do a great job at it.

    These appear to be JBLs.

    I was at Niagara Falls a few weekends ago, and I went to the "Niagara's Fury" cinema experience. The initial staging theater used JBL's. In the dark it looked like to be about 6 18" loud speakers and a few speakers that were hidden behind the screen. The audio was just a hair sharp for me, but man was it kicking. Other than that the attraction was so so.
    And I mean calling all cars, blackhawk down, mushroom cloud, Three Mile Island, lock the door behind you kind of mad.:mad:

    The only thing you hear from them is bad ride music or operators telling you someone puked in the first car.....how hi-fi or cool can you get?
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    I was in Memphis for business a few weeks ago. We hit up Beale street one night and went to BB Kings. Great pulled pork sandwich and blues music, btw.

    They had these really cool speakers all over the place, probably 10-15 throughout the bar. Took a look, and they were all special edition BB King speakers made by Eggleston Works. Looked really cool, btw, and knowing Eggleston probably cost a couple/few grand each.

    Took some pics with my phone but didn't come out too well.
