GUV vs Viva (SOUND SYSTEM)

Between these two clubbs .... I would have to say VIVA kills GUV.

Guv. has a very NICE sound system and I know there are only three of it's kind around the world. (Well two now) Honestly, when I saw Mauro Picotto last yr for Canada day, the bass was not loud nor deep enuff. I felt like something was missing !!! Don't get me wrong here ... I still love their sound system a lot !!! Since I haven't heard any Jungle/DnB at GUV before ... MP's basslines are the closes to it.

Viva, I swear I have never been that blown away before like that from a sound system. It was LOUD,DEEP and HEAVY. When Total Science dropped )EIB('s - More Fiya .... I had a HARD time breathing, the BASS was insane and I can't belive how my ears weren't hurtin' at all. When Madum Zu came on ... the final test for the sound system was passed with flying colours !!!

When Syrous use to throw huge parties ... there sound system were upto par as well.

What do you guys think ?

nobody can beat Guvernment sound system.......

One word.......Phazon!

Peace,

Guv's system is definitely alot better, the only problem is that they need to make the sound alot crisper as there always is distortion due to the fact that shit isn't eq'd properly.

both clubs have a great sound system, but i've noticed that with the set up at Guv, certain places in the club have distortion depending on where ur standing .. whereas with Viva the sound seemed very crisp everywhere..

then again Guv is a bigger club , so i'm sure it's harder to cover all areas especially with all the smaller chill areas everywhere throughout ..

someone should make a thread comparing the lighting systems tho .. cuz personally i think Viva owns in that area .. !

I was going to make the LIGHTING & LASER thread but ... NAW.

i think the guv's actual equipment is better, but they usually have something eq'd wrong. i think viva sounds better as set up, but the guv could (and has a few times) deffinetly sound the best of the two.

Technically speaking the Guv has the better sound system. It's setup properly, and you won't walk out with your ears ringing at all. The thing is that we want to hear music thats loud and banging and in our faces, that's where Viva seems to deliver.

Viva is the only club I have ever used earplugs. Although I should use em all the time I feel if my ears are bleeding like they were at Viva that night (Marco V) the sound system is turned up TOO high.

However I find it really depends where you are on the floor. At viva the only really bad spot is to the right of the dj booth. And when I stand in the middle of the Guv's floor you really feel the quality of the phazon.

PHAZON ALL THE WAY I'll agree and say that Guv needs to tweak up the system sometimes, but for the most part, especially after they renovated, Guvs system is crazy! How can someone say that VIVA'S lighting beats GUV'S??? That's the dumbest thing I ever heard! Which VIVA did you go to??

Seconds that...

Sometimes I think the creators of VIVA thought loud meant better...

I always use ear-plugs... The only reason is that my doctor is telling me that I am going deaf (unfortunately due to hereditary reasons)...

If you ever see someone that looks like my avatar with glowing orange ear plugs that's me!!!

I found Viva's sound system to be very nice. I haven't been to Guv yet, so I can't really compare tho

@ Viva, the bass was thumping. You know its good when you can feel the bass in your chest. I didn't notice any distortion in the bass, except when the DJ had the bass of two tracks on top of one another. So, the bass was all good, and even better, the treble wasn't affected at all, and it was crisp throughout the club.

I didn't have any probs with volume, and I didn't feel the need for earplugs. And btw, I can hear just fine (for now)

The Guv sound system would have to be pretty nice to beat Viva's

hey i've been to both clubs numerous times .. and i still prefer the lighting system at Viva. just feels more suited to trance.. it's just personal opinion ..

no need to call the comments dumb ..

Here we go again ... another TA war.
Doesn't matter what you like, VIVA or GUV for their sound system or lasers. They are both wicked !!! I find Viva's sound system & lasers much better then GUV. Maybe it's b/c GUV never EQs it right .. that's their fault. No need for rude comments

...

The bottom line is........

There is nothing like the Guvernment.........anywhere !!

ONE LUV, ONE GUV

there no digging fantom hehe

I like both Viva and Guv but viva is a bit too far off and the other thing is the bad crowd in Viva..

Guvernment has a better crowd. but its always packed.

Sound and Lighting i think both match up
Space wise Guvernement is bigger...sort of being in a huge warehouse.
Viva is much smaller than GUV

Yep, I've heard that this place had the best Phazon setup ever... unlike in GUV, you could actually talk to a person beside you in the middle of the dancefloor without shouting in their ears, since the sound was placed above you... now, I wanna see engineers at GUV do that.

by the way Andy, good seeing you in there, after what, a year or so...?

Twilo shut down..... ?

yah, twilo is long gone...

phazon rules!

Apparently Stereo in MTL has the best soundsystem. The best soundsystem I ever heard was at Amnesia, Ibiza.
